QUICK AND EASY SHRIMP FAJITAS



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.

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.

MAGIC CHICKEN, BEEF OR SHRIMP FAJITAS



Magic Chicken, Beef or Shrimp Fajitas image

My husband's recipe for fajitas, based on a recipe found in a Mexican cookbook by Jane Milton and his own experimentation. The inclusion of cinnamon is what to me gives these fajitas such a great flavor! Serve with your favorite accompaniments along with rice and beans and a strong margarita!

Provided by zephanie

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4-1 lb steak or 3/4-1 lb shrimp, cut in strips against grain
oil (enough to coat meat)
1 (5 g) packet Sazon Goya seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 -3 teaspoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 -2 tablespoon black pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
1 -2 teaspoon oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
lime juice (just enough to coat meat)
1 dash tequila
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/2 green pepper, sliced
1/2 red pepper, sliced
flour tortillas or corn tortilla

Steps:

  • Cut meat in strips (against the grain) and place in medium sized freezer bag.
  • Drizzle enough oil over the meat to coat and shake bag.
  • Add all all seasonings to bag, shake to coat meat.
  • Add enough lime juice to coat meat, plus dash of tequila.
  • Marinade (ideal time for steak or chicken-- 1 1/2 -2 hours, shrimp-- no more than 30 minutes).
  • Heat cast iron skillet on medium-high until smoking, add approximately 1/4 of the meat plus onion and peppers and sear for approximately 3-5 minutes. If cooking just chicken or shrimp, you may need to add a small amount of oil (1 tsp). Do not overcrowd the skillet or you will not achieve a good sear.
  • Continue cooking the rest of the fajitas in small batches. Serve with tortillas and accompaniments.
