This recipe for shrimp fajitas is a quick and easy one skillet dinner made with fajita marinated shrimp and sauteed peppers and onions. This sizzling dish is so flavorful!
For serving: Lettuce cups, Flour or corn tortillas, Rice, Cilantro, Guacamole, Sour cream, and/or Salsa
Instructions
Marinade
In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, lime juice, fajita seasoning, and garlic until combined. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate 10 minutes.
Fajitas
While the shrimp is marinating, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-heat heat. Add bell peppers and onion sauté until sizzling hot and edges are beginning to char, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet over medium-high heat, arrange marinated shrimp in a single layer. Flip after 2 minutes and cook until pink, being careful not to overcook.
Stir bell pepper mixture into the shrimp. Remove from heat.
Serve warm in lettuce cups or tortillas, or on top of a salad or rice bowl. Top with favorite toppings.
Notes
Marinade: If the shrimp sits too long in the marinade, it will begin to break down the meat. I wouldn't recommend leaving it longer than 10 minutes. Storage: I like to eat shrimp the same day it is cooked, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet.
