Shrimp Fajitas Recipe

Main Menu

1. 1

   Prepare marinade and marinate shrimp

   In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Prep vegetables

   While the shrimp marinates, slice bell peppers into thin strips and slice the onion. In a separate bowl, toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Cook shrimp

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp along with any remaining marinade. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Transfer to a plate.

4. 4

   Cook vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the peppers and onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred; season with a pinch more salt if needed.

5. 5

   Combine shrimp with vegetables

   Return the shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss to heat through and combine flavors for 1-2 minutes.

6. 6

   Warm tortillas

   Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Assemble and serve

   Serve the shrimp and pepper-onion mixture in warm tortillas. Top with cilantro, lime wedges, sour cream, and shredded cheese as desired. Fold and eat as fajitas.
