Simple Shrimp Fajitas
Simple dishes are always great to help make weeknights a little easier, but when they pack a ton of flavor, they can also be the most rewarding! This dish comes basically comes together in one pan and takes less than 15 minutes to make, making it the ultimate weeknight go to!
If you have really big shrimp, you could certainly chop them down to your preferred size, otherwise just leave them whole. The nice thing about this dish too is that if you have any left over chicken or steak, you can throw it in at the end to warm it through to help take your fajitas to a whole new level!
