Shrimp Fajitas

A delicious way to prepare shrimp for tacos. I make them with guajillo chili so they're not spicy, and then everyone can add their favorite salsa to their tacos. You can use shrimp of any size; I had medium ones. This recipe is for one serving, but you can multiply it as needed.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the ingredients. Clean the shrimp. Slice the onion and cut the bell pepper into thin strips.
- 2
In a bowl, mix the spices and salt. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil, stir, and then add the lemon juice. Mix well.
- 3
Toss the shrimp with the marinade and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion and bell pepper until softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- 4
In the same skillet, arrange the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until cooked through. If making a larger batch, cook in batches so the shrimp don't steam and become rubbery. Return the vegetables to the skillet.

Mix well to combine the flavors, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed. Serve with warm tortillas, sliced avocado, extra lemon, and salsa as desired.
