Shrimp Fajitas
I made this last night and it was simply divine! I don't like green peppers so I used yellow and orange. I also didn't have scallion so I just sauteed the red onion with the peppers and served that way.
1 1/4 lbs. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. chopped oregeno
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Juice of 1 lime
Flour or soft corn tortillas
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
6 scallions, cut into thirds
2 green bell peppers, cored, seeded and sliced into strips
Combine the shimp, salt, cumin, chili powder, oregeno, garlic and lime juice in a large bowl. Toss until the spices are evenly distributed and the shrimp are well coated. Set aside to marinade for 10 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet. Add the scallions and peppers, cook, stirring occasionally utnil they sfoten slightly, 2 minutes.
Add the shrimp with their marinade and cook, stirring constantly, until the yare pink and firm, about 3 minutes.
Transfrr the shrimp and vegetable to a serving platter. Serve with warmed tortillas, sour cream, cilantro and red onion on the side.
