Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 3 bell peppers (orange, yellow and green), cut into strips
- ½ white or yellow onion, cut in half and sliced
- ¼ purple cabbage, sliced (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 12 ounces large raw shrimp (clean, shell-and-tail off)
- 1 ounce taco seasoning mix (original)
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- 1 large and juicy lime
- 1-2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
- 1-2 avocado(s), sliced
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
- 4-6 gluten-free tortillas or other of your choice If on a keto diet, use lettuce instead
- sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 ½ tablespoons of oil and cook bell pepper strips and onion for about 6-8 minutes or until softened. Season with salt and pepper and place onto a plate.
- Then add the remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of oil to the pan and cook shrimp seasoned with a mixture of taco seasoning and chili pepper for about 4 minutes or until cooked. Sprinkle on lime juice.
- Last, arrange cooked shrimp and vegetables in the skillet, add sliced avocado, jalapenos, lime wedges, and fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve with gluten-free tortillas or lettuce instead, and enjoy!
Notes
- ON A SMALL TABLE/COUNTER TOP/COFFEE TABLE: Lay out a skillet of Spicy Shrimp Fajitas, serving silverware, and tortillas placed inside of a tortilla basket to keep them warm (or a platter covered with a warm clean napkin and aluminum foil).
- ON A SMALL TABLE/COUNTER TOP/COFFEE TABLE:
- Also, lay out paper baskets to arrange tacos in, or dinner plates, napkins, wine glasses, and a bottle of chilled Sutter Home White Zinfandel. If desired, decorate the table with a vase of colorful flowers or any decorative Tex-Mex item. Eat and drink to the sound of a nice music soundtrack, and have a great time.
- I used store-bought gluten-free spinach tortillas, but you can serve with any tortilla of your choice.
