Shrimp Fajitas

This literally could not be easier to make- especially with pre-cooked shrimp because everything can cook basically the same amount of time and everything can go in the same bag. So to cook all you have to do is heat a pan and dumb the contents of the bag in the pan. I pre-season / marinate alot of my stuff in bags up to 24 hours before I cook it. If you are using raw meat make sure that you season the meat in one bag and the veggies in another.

Shrimp Fajitas





Ingredients
-1/2 lb of jumbo cooked shrip
- Half a red pepper sliced into fajita strips
- Half a green pepper sliced into Fajita strips
- Half a Red Onion in Fajita- type strips
- 1 lime
- Two Corn Torillas
- A little Mexican cheese
- Salt, Pepper
- 1 tsp of each- Cumin, Garlic Powder, Cayenne Pepper (adjust to taste)
- Olive Oil

Directions


1. The night before you are going to make this put the followin ingredients in a freezer bag: Shrimp, Peppers and Onions, Cumin, Garlic Powder, juice of half a lime. Also put in a few pinches of salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil in bag until it lightly covers all ingredients. Close the bag tightly and toss it around so that the seasoning covers all of the ingredients. Put in the fridge for the night

2. On the day you are going to cook heat a large pan for around 3 minutes on high heat. You might add the juice of the other half of the lime to the pan, but you don't have to if you don't want them too limey. Open the bag and pour contents into the heated pan.

3. Cook for 8-10 minutes on high heat until peppers and Onions are cooked through.

4. Heat corn tortillas for 30 seconds in microwave right before the fajita stuff is done cooking. Serve fajitas on heated tortillas and top with some lite mexican blend cheese.
