1 1/2 lbs shrimp (or chicken or beef)
1/4 cup EVOO Divided
3 TBS Lemon Juice
2 Cloves garlic minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp hot sauce
salt
black pepper
1 onion halved and sliced lengthwise
1 orange bell pepper sliced

Fajita toppings of your choice

Steps:

1-put 1/2 the EVOO plus all lemon juice, garlic, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, hot sauce, salt, pepper and shrimp in a large zip lock and refrigerate for 20 minutes (add 30 minutes for tough cuts of meat). 2- in a skillet add the remaining EVOO and fry the onions and pepper with a pinch of salt and pepper until they start to tenderize. 3- remove onions and peppers and set aside 4- put shrimp in skillet WITHOUT marinade and discard excess marinade 5- fry shrimp until pink and starting to brown (if shrimp are very moist you may have to drain the pan after a couple of minutes so they don't "boil" instead of frying...don't worry what you drain won't isn't needed for the shrimp to have GREAT flavor) 6- when shrimp are almost done add back the onions and peppers, finish to desired tenderness and serve in hot tortillas
