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!

Tips:

Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh shrimp, bell peppers, and onions will make a big difference in the overall taste of your fajitas.
Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your fajitas with plenty of spices. A good fajita seasoning blend will add lots of flavor and complexity.
Cook the Shrimp Properly: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes per side, until they are pink and opaque.
Use a Hot Skillet: Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the shrimp and vegetables. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from sticking.
Let the Fajitas Rest: After cooking, let the fajitas rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the juices to redistribute.
