A Mexican twist on these delicious shrimp that will quickly become a family
favorite.  Given the jumbo size of our 21-25 count
Wild Caught Gulf shrimp,
expect a pound to yield around eight to 10 fajitas.  
Shrimp Fajitas
1 lb Louisiana Gold Gulf shrimp
10 8" flour tortillas
2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
(we like McCormick brand)
2 medium bell peppers
1 medium onion (yellow or red)
4 tablespoons olive oil
shredded cheese of choice

Mix one pound of thawed shrimp with two
tablespoons of olive oil and one tablespoon
of fajita seasoning.

Cut bell peppers and onion into slivers and
mix in a bowl with two tablespoons of olive oil
and one tablespoon of fajita seasoning.

Heat a cast iron skillet on high for several
minutes (cooking this outside on a side
burner of a gas grill works great, but you can
cook indoors in a non-stick skillet).  Reduce
to medium-high heat and add the pepper and
onion mixture and sauté for around four to
five minutes.  Remove from heat and place in
a covered bowl.

Add the shrimp mixture and sauté for around
five minutes or until shrimp curls.  Remove
from heat and add to the bowl with the
peppers and onions.  Mix and serve on warm
tortillas and top with shredded cheese.  

Notes:  You may choose to add more or less
fajita seasoning to taste.
