Preparation

  5. 5Serve directly from the skillet with warm tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole and additional lime wedges.

💡 Chef's Tip

Cook the peppers and onions first to develop a light char, then add the shrimp near the end so it stays tender and juicy while picking up the fajita seasoning.
