Tips and Secrets for Making Shrimp Fajitas
- Buying peeled shrimp will save you preparation time.
- It’s best to remove the tails on the shrimp before cooking, and this only takes a minute or two.
- Thaw shrimp before cooking – here is a guide on how to thaw shrimp.
- I used yellow bell peppers here, but you can use red bell peppers or green bell peppers if you prefer
- You can also use a second skillet when heating the tortillas to save time.
- You can make the shrimp mixture ahead of time. When it’s time to serve, just reheat it in the pan for a minute or two while you’re heating up the tortillas.
How to Serve Shrimp Fajitas
- Family Style: People love to assemble their own fajitas, so you can put out the shrimp mixture, hot tortillas and garnishes for them to do it.
- Pre-assembled: If you prefer, you can assemble the fajitas and place them side-by-side on a serving plate.
Other Ingredients You Can Add to This Dish
This dish is quite versatile and you can easily customize it to your tastes.
- Seasoning: make your own homemade fajita seasoning in advance and use more or less according to your taste
- Seafood: If you’re lucky enough to find fresh crawfish, you can use it instead of shrimp – yum!
