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.
