Delicious and very easy to make!
I used a fajita seasoning packet instead of taco. Also mixed the fajita seasoning in the water and let the shrimp ‘marinate’ while I cooked the peppers and onions. When I added the shrimp I set aside the rest of the seasoned water then added it to the pan when I added the peppers and onions back to continue cooking them. It turned out delicious!
Tasted ok but nothing special. Not sure if I used too much taco seasoning, or it just overpowered the shrimp, because I could not taste the shrimp. Cooked peppers for almost 10 minutes and the red pepper was still very hard. Will not make again. Have made better (but more difficult) shrimp tacos/fajitas.
I made the recipe as written, but I think the taco seasoning overpowered the shrimp; it didn’t complement it. So next time I will either use about half of the taco seasoning mix or make my own. I guess it’s all what suits you. Good “base” recipe.
Super easy to make. I’m going to marinate the shrimp next time to boost flavor.
Quick easy and delicious
This was very good! Quick and easy. Did add some cilantro once everything was in the pan together. Will definitely make it again!
Use spicy taco seasoning
Very good very easy
This was quick and easy to make. I like taco seasoning enough (and it made it so much easier to do), but in the future I would probably make a lighter seasoning to enhance the flavor of the shrimp. But if you want quick and easy and tasty, this is the way to go.
It was so easy to make, even after a long day at work. And it was delicious!!!! Tasted like something from a great restaurant
I give it a five star cuz I mixed it up a bit!! I made it the same as the recipe said for the filling but I used the fried taco recipe for the shell (tortilla) and added chopped spring mix lettuce and cheese and came out incredible!! Love the idea of the fried tortillas! Not to crispy and not to soft! U gotta try it!!!
Delicious and easy! I used 3 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning and it had just the right kick. Thanks Annemo
made as directed..did not like it.
Awesome is the only way to describe this recipe. Easy, quick with a sophisticated taste. Followed the recipe for the most part, except these minor changes. Used Fajita packet seasoning instead of taco (as that is all I had on hand), added hot pepper flakes while frying the peppers and onions & 1/2 cup of fresh rough chopped cilantro. Served it with Mexican rice & beans. OMG it was so yummy. It is great recipe as I always have frozen peeled shrimp, Fajita seasoning, peppers and onions on hand. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe with us all.
These were good, but felt they needed something. I can’t decide what. I think I will try the cucumber salsa that another person mentioned and/or fresh tomato.
Turned out fantastic…I don’t usually like shrimp but this was very good…
needed a little thicker sauce
For a college student this was super easy!!!
Simple recipe and very good. However, I did substitute bell peppers with sweeter and slightly spicier peppers.
Very basic, quick and easy recipe for shrimp fajitas that taste really good depending on the taco seasoning you use. You can make these in no time.
