Quick and Easy Shrimp Fajitas

Cinco de Mayo - World Cuisine

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!

Step 1

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.
