Shrimp Fajitas

Shrimp fajitas are a quick fix for lunch or dinner. Whether your a college student or a busy mom or dad this is a go to recipe that you can personalize anyway you'd like. I decided to throw in shrimp, however you can choose to add chicken, beef, pork, or no meat at all. I didn't get a picture of all the ingredients so there will just be a list of them, sorry about that. 

Ingredients: 
  • 1 red onion 
  • 1 pepper (I used red and yellow to make it colorful) 
  • 5 mushrooms (sliced) 
  • 12-15 shrimp
  • Any kind of shredded cheese (I choose a 5 cheese blend) 
  • 1 package of fajita seasoning. It includes chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. 
  • Soft tortillas 
  • sour cream 

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add in the sliced onion, pepper, and mushrooms. Cook the veggies until they are soft. 


Once the veggies are soft, you'll want to add the shrimp and fajita seasoning. Add in a 1/4 cup of water and let everything simmer for 10 minutes or until the shrimp are a pinkish color.


To assemble the fajitas you'll want to heat a separate skillet to medium heat. First, toast the soft tortillas on both sides. On one side add the shrimp and veggie mixture and the five cheese blend on the other side. Fold in half and you have yourself a spicy shrimp fajita! 


Serve with a side of Spanish rice and sour cream. Quick and easy shrimp fajitas are going to be your new favorite dish. Enjoy!
