Quick and Easy Shrimp Fajitas image

This is a twist on a classic recipe using shrimp instead of beef or chicken. I use regular old taco seasoning to make it easier, but any seasoning combination for fajitas will work. Serve with refried beans and Spanish rice to make an easy meal!

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 pound medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
1 cup (1 small) chopped onion
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
3 tablespoons water, or as needed
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red and green bell peppers, and onion. Cook, stirring frequently until peppers are hot, but still slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Pour the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil into the skillet, and add the shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and opaque. Reduce heat to low, and return the peppers and onion to the skillet. Stir in taco seasoning and water so that everything is evenly coated. Simmer until peppers are heated. Serve in warm tortillas.

I'm a big fan of shrimp fajitas and these were some of the best I've ever had. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the fajita seasoning was delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

These shrimp fajitas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll probably use less chili powder next time.

These shrimp fajitas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not usually a fan of shrimp, but these fajitas were amazing! The marinade really tenderized the shrimp and the fajita seasoning was perfect. I'll definitely be making these again.
