03 Method

Step 1

In a resealable small jar, combine all the ingredients for the seasonings. Seal and shake well. Reserve 1 1/2 teaspoons for the vegetables.
Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice and 4-5 teaspoons of the fajita seasonings. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Allow to marinate (no longer than 20 minutes) while you prepare the vegetables.
Step 3

Slice the onions and bell peppers.
Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and allow to cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Add the bell peppers and sprinkle with the reserved 1 1/2 teaspoons of fajita seasonings. If you like the peppers with a nice crunch - cook for about 3-5 minutes. And if you like them softer, leave them on for about 3 minutes longer. Transfer and set aside on a plate.
Step 5

Melt butter on the same skillet and add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until shrimp is opaque and no longer pink.
Step 6

Add the vegetables back to the skillet until just heated through. Adjust seasonings as needed. Remove from heat.
Step 7

Serve hot with heated tortillas, avocado slices, and lime wedges plus any other toppings of your choice.
