Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

2 cups julienned onions (170 grams/about 1/2 a large onion)

4 cups julienned bell peppers (435 grams/3 medium bell peppers)

2 heaping cups sliced mushrooms (140 grams)

1 tablespoon taco seasoning (divided)

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional for serving: rice (white or cauliflower), tortillas, lettuce cups, chopped romaine, diced tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, fresh cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.

  • Add the julienned onions, bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and half of the taco seasoning. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and slightly charred. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  • Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan. Add the shrimp, taco seasoning, and lime juice. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  • Return the sautéed vegetables to the pan and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

  • Serve the fajitas with your choice of rice, tortillas, lettuce cups, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Vegetarian Option: Replace shrimp with extra mushrooms or tofu for a vegetarian version.

Spicy Kick: Add a diced jalapeño or red pepper flakes for extra heat.

Swap Protein: This recipe is great with chicken breast or beef strips as a substitute for shrimp.

Add Beans: Black beans or pinto beans are a great addition for extra fiber and protein.
