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.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less red pepper flakes in the marinade. I also think that the shrimp were a little overcooked. I would cook them for less time next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic powder and onion powder to the marinade, but it still wasn't very flavorful. I would also recommend adding some red pepper flakes for a little bit of spice.
