Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat dry 1 lb shrimp and toss with 1 tbsp fajita seasoning. Slice 2 bell peppers and 1 onion into strips.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Add peppers and onion, cook until crisp-tender and lightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Return shrimp to skillet, sprinkle with remaining 1 tbsp fajita seasoning, and toss to coat. Cook for 1 minute until heated through.

  5. Step 5

    Warm 6 small tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Serve shrimp and veggies in tortillas with your favorite toppings.
