QUICK AND EASY SHRIMP FAJITAS

Quick and Easy Shrimp Fajitas image

This is a twist on a classic recipe using shrimp instead of beef or chicken. I use regular old taco seasoning to make it easier, but any seasoning combination for fajitas will work. Serve with refried beans and Spanish rice to make an easy meal!
