Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp and vegetables: Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Thinly slice the bell peppers and onion to ensure even cooking and a perfect texture.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, letting it heat until shimmering.
  3. Cook the vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but remain crisp.
  4. Add the shrimp and seasoning: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the shrimp. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning evenly over the shrimp and vegetables. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.
  5. Serve hot: Remove from heat and serve the shrimp and vegetables immediately with warm tortillas, salsa, and your favorite fajita toppings.

Notes

  • You can customize the fajita seasoning with your desired level of spiciness by adding extra chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • For a gluten-free version, check the fajita seasoning packet to ensure it contains no gluten.
  • Serve with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for added zest and aroma.
  • Shrimp cook quickly, so avoid overcooking to keep them tender and juicy.
