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 |
- Defrost the shrimp if frozen, devein, remove shell and tails. Place shrimp in a glass bowl.
- Add the garlic, lime juice, cilantro, chilies, cumin, chili powder and coriander. Mix well and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
- Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a 300 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat add the oil and saute the bell pepper and onion until tender. Set aside.
- 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.

- You can serve these fajitas with salsa, avocado and sour cream if you wish. I like them just as is!
