Skillet Shrimp Fajitas

Shrimp cook in just a few minutes, so they go in last — added too early, they turn rubbery by the time everything else is done.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • corn tortillas for serving

Method

  1. 1

    Toss shrimp with half the chili powder and cumin.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook peppers and onion 6-7 minutes until softened and lightly charred, then push to the side of the pan.

  3. 3

    Add remaining oil to the empty side and add the shrimp — they cook fast, in just 2-3 minutes total, so they're added last to avoid turning rubbery from overcooking.

  4. 4

    Toss everything together, add lime juice, and cook 1 more minute until shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve with warm corn tortillas.
