So this is a recipe that is simple, quick, and most importantly deelish!! The smoky-sweet flavor of the mesquite seasoning just does wonders to the dish making your taste buds have a party in your mouth (Yep, there will be a mouth party! lol). I always love how succulent shrimp can be and burst in your mouth as you take a bite. The ultimate food porn!!
Serves 2 or 1 really hungry person, lol.
Ingredients
8 Jumbo Shrimp (Peeled and deveined) (I used Black tiger prawns)
2 T Canola Oil
2 tsp McCormick Mesquite Seasoning
2 tsp Sea Salt
2 tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper (There is a huge difference between freshly cracked and regular black pepper, trust me, but if you must use regular that is fine.)
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
4 Small Flour Tortillas
1 large Spanish Onion (sliced)
1 Yellow Bell Pepper (sliced)
Directions
1.) Add shrimp to a small bowl.
2.) Mix 1 tsp of sea salt and pepper and all the other seasonings with the shrimp and set aside to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. (You can also leave it overnight if you like to prep early)
3.) Heat a large skillet to medium heat with 1 T Canola Oil.
4.) Add the sliced onions, bell pepper, and 1 tsp of sea salt and pepper.
5.) Sauté for 10 minutes or until slightly caramelized (Be sure not to burn).
6.) Remove from the heat and add 1 T of Canola Oil to the same skillet.
7.) Add the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes on each side.
8.) Build your fajitas by adding the onion and bell pepper mixture to a flour tortilla. Add the shrimp on top.
9.) Serve and enjoy!! (I served mine with herbed rice).
