Shrimp Fajitas
Sumptuous shrimp fajitas are fantastic, easy to make, as well as healthy. They are so easy they make a terrific last minute meal.

8 corn tortillas
1 pound raw shrimp
1 clove minced garlic
1 tablespoon lime juice (or lemon juice)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 tablespoons chopped green chilies
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon coriander
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 sliced bell pepper (any color)
1/2 sliced onion
  1. Defrost the shrimp if frozen, devein, remove shell and tails. Place shrimp in a glass bowl.
  2. Add the garlic, lime juice, cilantro, chilies, cumin, chili powder and coriander. Mix well and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  3. Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a 300 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat add the oil and saute the bell pepper and onion until tender. Set aside.
  5. In the same pan stir-fry the shrimp until pink and tender. When the shrimp is done add the vegetables back to the pan, stirring until warm.
  6. On each tortilla, place a portion of shrimp and vegetable mixture. Serve warm. 
  • You can serve these fajitas with salsa, avocado and sour cream if you wish. I like them just as is!
