Shrimp Fajitas Recipe:
Make this shrimp fajita recipe once and you will make it over and over. The marinade is perfectly seasoned so every delicious bite of your fajitas has sweet, savory and smoky flavor.
How to Make One-Pan Shrimp Fajitas:
The easiest way to cook fajitas is on the stove top. They are quick, easy and come together in one pan. We also included grilling instructions below if you want to cook them outdoors (think: camping!).
- Stir together cajun seasoning marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
- Place sliced peppers and onion in a bowl and stir in 1/2 of the marinade.
- In a second bowl, pat dry shrimp and stir in the remaining marinade.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with 1/2 Tbsp oil. Sautee shrimp 1-2 min per side then remove.
- In the same pan, sautee vegetables 10 min or until soft and browned then turn off heat.
- Add back shrimp with their accumulated juices. Toss with 1/4 cup cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve with toasted tortillas and Jalapeño Ranch.
How to Warm Flour Tortillas:
There are several methods to warm tortillas and it should be done just before serving. The easiest way is to wrap a stack of 5 tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds at a time until warmed through. Wrap warmed tortillas in aluminum foil to keep them from cooling and drying out. Here’s interesting read on the best tortillas.
Tortillas can also be toasted about 15 seconds per side on:
- A gas stove-top over a medium/low flame (watch the video below)
- A hot dry skillet, griddle, flat cook top, or BBQ grill grates
What to Serve with Fajitas:
- Jalapeño Ranch (hint of spice) or Avocado Ranch (mild)
- Sliced avocado or guacamole
- Cilantro sprigs
- Lime wedges
- Corn on the Cob
- Avocado Corn Salad
Want to Make GRILLED Shrimp Fajitas?
Grilling your shrimp fajitas adds another smoky layer of flavor. What you will need: 4 skewers (soaked in water 30 minutes if using wooden skewers)
- Preheat grill to medium/high heat (400˚F). Brush the grilling basket with oil to prevent sticking.
- Skewer shrimp onto skewers, so they are just barely touching and not packed together then grill 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Remove shrimp from skewers and place on a platter.
- Place the vegetables in the grilling basket and grill until lightly charred (about 10 minutes), stirring every couple of minutes and keeping the lid closed between stirring.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
I’m going to try these tonight! Is there a reason not to cook the peppers first, and add the shrimp at the end to cook? Instead of cooking shrimp, setting aside, and adding back to the pan at the end? Thank you!
Hi Hayley! You can do that if you’d like. This is just an easy way to ensure nothing gets over cooked.
Ok I never review recipes. I know I’m bad. I use your recipes all the time though. And this one was perfect. Thank you!
I’m so glad you left this wonderful comment, Masha! Thank you!
Another awesome recipe! We cooked the veggies for longer, omitted the extra salt, and left out the cilantro to suit my family’s taste. I loved the fresh lime. It was way better than restaurant fajitas. This is another one of Natasha’s kitchen recipes that will be on repeat in my house.
That’s wonderful, Laura! Thank you so much for the feedback. I’m glad you found another favorite for the rotation.
HI Natasha
I’m always looking for different dinner ideas my husband but watch our salt intake any suggestions on lowering it in this recipe? Thanks
Hi Donna, you can easily cut down the salt and then just season to taste at the end if desired. When shopping for cajun seasoning, note the sodium content and pick the one with less sodium. I’m not a nutritionist and I always suggest that you talk to your doctor to determine the proper sodium intake, but I hope that answer is helpful to you. Enjoy the shrimp fajitas!
Found this shrimp to be tasteless. Needed more seasoning or something
Hi Liz, the shrimp is the most flavorful part of this recipe – I wonder if maybe you forgot the cajun or used a substitute for it? Cajun and all of the ingredients listed here add tons of flavor normally.
My husband declared these to be restaurant quality – which is high praise considering we just got home from Mexico a week ago. I made pork fajitas the other day, and these blew those out of the water. The oil in the marinade is probably what has the biggest impact on how well they turned out. So juicy and flavourful.
That’s wonderful, Joanne! So glad they were enjoyed. Thank you for sharing.
This is my most favorite dish at an Authentic Mexican Restaurant here in Bangor, ME. I actually have made my own using your recipe. It was great! I don’t eat the fajitas. I give them to my husband. Less carbs for me! LOL. I do eat the other sides that comes with the meal: rice, salad and I always ask for whole Pintos instread of refried beans. YUM!
Great recipe. Also, enjoyed the video, the funnies and all. Very entertaining.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Excellent dish, made twice in one week. Very easy and delicious.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Noreen!
Just made this tonight and my hubby is raving! I decided to serve with the avocado cream (equally delicious!). So easy and yummy, this will definitely be a new go to recipe in my kitchen. Thanks for yumm!
That’s wonderful! So glad it was enjoyed. Thank you for the review.
Has anyone served the fajita shrimp cold rather than hot? I have a make ahead event that would require it.
Made tonight , delicious , hubby says it a definite repeat .
Made the jalapeño ranch dressing, had to use a jalapeño in adobo, cause my green jalapeño was bad, the dressing was excellent and a must
Hi Trudy, thank you for your good comments and feedback. Great to hear that you enjoyed this recipe!
Excellent flavor and quick to prepare. I let everything marinade for about an hour.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Jim! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing fajitas & super easy! I used Chef Prudhomme’s Fajita magic for the Cajun seasoning & it was perfect! Fresh cilantro is key. I also used a little sour cream when putting the tortilla together. Delicious!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Shawn! I’m glad you loved it!
Had shrimp handy, looked for a recipe on your site. You always deliver! Made your shrimp fajitas. They were absolutely delicious! Loved the Cajun marinade. Def added this recipe to the family meal planning. Easy, too! A Winner!
Hi Dyan! That is wonderful! So happy to hear that, thank you. I’m glad you were able to find a recipe to make.
Had this for supper tonight, the fajitas were so good, we really enjoyed it!! Thanks for the great recipes and videos!!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Sandra!
Amazing recipe!! Made this recipe along with the jalapeno ranch dressing on the side for a get together with friends this past weekend. Everyone said they loved it! Even my picky teenager who doesn’t like shrimp asked me to make it again just for our family this weekend. Thank you so much for sharing!
Yum! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review, Erika!
Made this for dinner last night and it came out fantastic! Absolute banger of a dish!
That’s fantastic feedback, thanks for sharing!
I fixed the Shrimp Fajitas last night with the jalapeño ranch. It was AMAZING!! My husband loved it! Thank you!!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Karen!
This recipe is AMAZING!!! The perfect combination of flavors! And that jalapeño ranch…chefs kiss. I follow this recipe exactly and it fabulous every time! Your website is my go-to for most everything I cook! Thank you for always coming through everytime!
You’re always welcome! I’m glad you are enjoying the recipes that you have tried.
Absolutely fantastic! I use it with chicken as well. Great taste!
Thank you for the review, Krissy!
I love watching your cooking videos and I have made your beef stroganoff before and that was amazing. I also loved this one too!! It instantly became one of my favorite meals! So delicious! Even loved the jalapeño ranch dressing with it! Thanks! 😃
Love it! Thanks for your good comments and feedback, Jessica.
Hi – I noticed that the recipe named Fajita has a cajun spice – which I think has more Italian seasoning than the Mexican spice mix called Fajita. Have you tried fajita spice mix for this recipe? I assume it would work fine – any thoughts?
Hi Mary, cajun spice is a seasoning that is popular in Louisiana in cajun cuisine. I don’t think it has much Italian influence.
Do you have a recipe for the jalepeno sauce?
Hi Lisa, I do not, but that sounds amazing! Thank you so much for that suggestion!
LOVED THIS!!!
Question: can you make the shimp and vegetables ahead? Like one day ahead and reheat when serving?
Glad you enjoyed it, Natalie. I usually make it on the same day, I haven’t tried making this ahead yet to advise.
This recipe was awesome! Next can you make Raising Cane’s copycat recipe chicken tenders, coleslaw, and their Texas toast please? Thanks!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the shrimp fajitas and I have noted your request.
Will be making today. Would you please make a video on how you store your herbs in the refrigerator? My cilantro dries out too soon. Thank you!
Hi Sue, thank you so much for that suggestion!
I love all your recipes and i do make a lot of them. I would like to know how to make the white sauce that your sister makes for
Shrimp Fajitas. Thank you
Hi Maddie, I have the sauce linked above but our favorite is Jalapeño Ranch (hint of spice) or Avocado Ranch (mild).
So good and so easy! I made a double batch, the second with chicken for my non-seafood family (more shrimp for me!) and it was a huge hit.
Thanks for your great review, Kristin. I’m glad that this recipe was a hit!
The nutrition label states this recipe is 4 servings. Is this information for 1 fajita per person? Looks delicious and can’t wait to try.
Hi Shelly, this makes 8 fajitas so that the servings size would be 2 per.
Hi Natasha
I made the shrimp fajitas over the weekend simply delicious You and your family stay safe
Theresa
Thank you, Theresa! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Hi Natasha – can you buy cajun spice at the grocery store? I want to make this but not sure what cajun spice is.
Hi Judith! You sure can! We have the one we used linked to the recipe. You can also find the cajun seasoning marinade HERE.
Made the shrimp fajitas last night and OMG, what an awesome recipe. My husband LOVED them!! Will definitely be making again. Love your recipes.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Liz!
Made these for dinner with the Jalapeño Ranch. Delicious! I have been trying a new recipe from you every week and they have all been amazing! Thanks!
Wow! That’s so great, Leanne! Thank you for that great feedback! I’m so glad you’re enjoying our recipes.
My family loved this. Especially with the jalapenos dressing. Super easy! Thank you for helping weeknight dinners special and flavorful! So happy I found you.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you all enjoyed it, Paula!
That jalapeno sauce was a huge hit in my house. Yummo!
So (finally) got to making these last night. In fact made 3 of your recipes last night Natasha! Shrimp fajitas, Jalapeno ranch, and Shrimp cakes. Yes, crazy I know. But, with “wows” and “when are you making it again” comments round the table, it was worth it!
The Shrimp fajitas turned out soooo good. I added spring onions to the veggies. And add some hot chilli powder to the marinade. Worked great.
Thank you for sharing your recipes with us. It was my first time trying the, Definitely won’t be last! 🙂
Wow, that makes me happy! I’m glad that you are enjoying my recipes, I hope that you and your family will love every recipe that you will try from me.
These were the most delicious shrimp fajitas!! The flavors were explosive especially with the jalapeno ranch sauce! I can’t wait to make them again!!!
That is so amazing. Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Ellie!
My sister and I made this recipe yesterday for dinner. Our family loved it! We added your shrimp taco sauce on top of the fajitas. They were good! This was our second time making this. Thanks for the recipe.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
My sister and I made this recipe twice so far. We made it yesterday for dinner. Our family loved it! We used your shrimp taco sauce recipe to serve on top of the shrimp fajitas. It was delicious! We loved your shrimp tacos, cheeseburger sliders, pumpkin cake, pumpkin cheesecake, vanilla cake, vanilla cupcakes, beef and broccoli stir fry, chicken and broccoli stir fry, and meatloaf. We are making your meatloaf again for dinner today and chicken and broccoli stir fry tomorrow as well. My family loves your recipes a lot! We also loved your chocolate chip and peanut cooking cookies. Thank you for all of your amazing recipes Natasha! Keep it up!!!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Everything is so perfect about this recipe! And yes, the jalapeño ranch is a must!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Veronika!
Made tonight and we loved it! My could eat about a dozen! Will definitely make again.
I’m happy to hear that. Thank you for your excellent feedback, Gail!
I love so many of your recipes!!!
My oldest granddaughter got married last yer, so I send many things to her. Thank you for bick
I’m so happy you’re enjoying our recipes. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Is there a recipe for the jalapeño ranch?
Hi Dawn, I have it linked a couple of times in the post for future reference but here is a direct link to the jalapeno ranch.
Had to make to confirm I don’t really like Cajun, but wanted to try again. So process was good but I would make a different marinade next time. Maybe lemon herb?
This was pretty good. I added cayenne for extra heat. Think I might season the shrimp more overall next time too. I didn’t have a food processor so I bought already-made jalapeno ranch. I may try steak next time. Thanks!
You are most welcome, Kee. Thanks for sharing that with us!
I love this recipe! If I wanted to use steak instead of shrimps, can I use the same sauce or would you suggest other seasonings?
Hi Tasha, I haven’t tried using steak using this recipe. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes!
Oh okay….will do!
These are so, so good!! It’s my go-to recipe night now. Everybody in my family loves them, from 6-44. I generally do at least 2 meats and chicken works out amazing in the marinade as well. I could literally eat them half the week. IF there are any leftovers they turn in to an amazing “burrito bowl”. Every time I make them multiple people reiterate how great they are.
Thank you for another fantastic recipe!
You are so welcome, Kerry. Thank you so much for sharing your great experience making this recipe!
Could you share a great recipe for made from scratch biscuits and sausage gravy? Thanks!
Hi Barry! Thank you for that wonderful suggestion! Adding it to our to-do list!
I made the shrimp fajitas for dinner tonight and they were delicious!!! I did not have all the ingredients for the cajun spice so I used the creole seasoning mix!!!! I did make the jalapeño
ranch dressing!! sooo yummy!!
I LOVE all your recipes Natashia, so easy to make & the video’s help a lot!!!
You’re so nice! Thank you so much for sharing that great review with me Dee!
Do you use cooked or raw shrimp?
Hi Pam, we used raw shrimp. Pre-cooked shrimp will become rubbery and tough when cooked again.
I am going to try this with a few cherry tomatoes and low carb wraps!!
Yum! I’d love to know how you like it with that!
These are the best fajitas I have ever had. The only thing I changed was that I added about a quarter teaspoon of Chili powder. I like a little Heat in my fajitas. DELICIOUS!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review!
I made this tonight and thought it was delicious. I cut the recipee in half- dinner for one. I picked fresh cilantro from my herb garden and everything came together quickly. Thank you!! I look forward to more recipees from you.
So glad to hear that it was a success!
These were AMAZING!!! I couldn’t believe how easy they were and the Jalapeno ranch…is to die for!! My family went back for thirds!! It was just delicious!! Definitely a new addition to the dinner rotation!
I’m so glad you enjoyed that Pam! Sounds like you found a new favorite!
I made the shrimp fajitas tonight for my family with the jalapeno ranch. There was not even a crumb left on their plates. They loved it! Thank you for a super easy and delicious recipe.
Wow so great to hear that! I am glad to know that everyone loved the fajitas.
Just made THE BEST shrimp fajitas! Thanks for sharing all your tasty and simple recipes. It’s been fun experimenting during quarantine!
My pleasure! I am so glad you loved this recipe, thank you for sharing that with us.
Made this today and it was awesome added Ranch dressing instead of the jalapeño Ranch and it still tasted amazing
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing that wonderful review with me!
Made this tonight. So easy, quick, and delicious. Natasha, you are getting to be my “ go to” for great recipes. I’ve yet to try one I didn’t love. Thanks!
Love it! Thanks for giving my recipes a try, I’m so glad that you loved each one that you have tested.
I tried it tonight. I used shrimp and chicken. We absolutely loved it. Will definitely be a go to. Going to try steak now also
Yum! That sounds amazing! I’m so glad you enjoyed it Julie!
Excellent! I made this without cilantro and the cajun spice (though I add most of its components). But still, it was the best shrimp recipe I had made so far. It’s light but extremely tasty. The combination of shrimp and bell pepper goes perfect! The chilly taste of the spice along with the mild sweetness of onion and sourness of lemon juice is brilliant. And the whole thing with some crispy tortillas is just heavenly. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks! Will definitely make this again and again.
Love it! Thank you so much for your great and detailed feedback. I appreciate it!
It was a big hit at my son’s Cinco de mayo party!
That’s so awesome! I’m so glad you all enjoyed this recipe!
Today I made your shrimp fajitas and they were fantastic! My husband loved the jalapeño ranch. I used a gluten and dairy free aioli on mine. Definitely quick and delicious 😋
So glad that your substitutes work great too! Thank you so much for sharing that with us and for giving this recipe a try!
This sounds amazing! Would it still be good to use chicken instead of Shrimp?
Hi Ann, absolutely! Just keep in mind chicken takes longer to cook through, but that will work. Also you might love our chicken fajitas recipe.
The best ! Got a 10 outa 10 rating from very hungry men!! I quadrupled the recipe and still had no leftovers!!!!! Made my cajun season as you suggested ( added Cumin!) and cooked the veggies first as I did not want to risk overcooking the fresh shrimp! Jalapeno ranch was perfect – luckily I made enough for the southwestern “slaw ” ! Thank you for excellent directions and results!!
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
I have tried many of your great recipes over the last few months and this one, shrimp fajitas, was the absolute best! So easy and my family loved them. Can’t wait to make them again. Thankyou!
Yay love it! Thanks for sharing that your experience trying out this recipe, I appreciate it and hope you will love every recipe that you will try.
Made these last week and they were fabulous. My son asked me today when I was making them again.
That is the best when kids love what we moms make. That’s so great!
I made this for dinner last night and I cannot say enough great things about this recipe!! So easy and so delicious. I used Tony Chachere’s original creole seasoning, which I only recently discovered. It worked so well with this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly as I usually do when making something for the first time. No changes necessary, it’s perfect as is. Thank you so much for sharing!
I love your great feedback, thank you so much for sharing that with us!
I tried making this with turmeric instead of Cajun because that’s what I had and it was a hit! (Also lemon instead of lime and no one could tell).
I’m glad the substitute ingredients that you used worked so great too! Thanks for your review and feedback.
Thank you Natasha for the nice recipe. We loved it and we loved the ranch sauce it’s amazing.
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you loved the recipe especially the ranch sauce. I hope you love every recipe that you try!
I made thes but I did change a few things, before I added the shrimp to the marinade, I sprinkled the shrimp with Old Bay, let that sit for a bit, and I used Bang Bang sauce….yummmmm!
Yum! That sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing that with us Tracie!
Looking for the recipe for the White sauce
Hi Joe, that is our Jalapeno Ranch.
Ok wow, this recipe is INCREDIBLE! It my first time making fajitas and they turned out great!! I followed the recipe exactly except I added jalapeño slices to kick up the heat. I’ll definitely be making these again. Thanks for wonderful recipe!
That’s so awesome Andrea! Thank you for that wonderful review!
Could I marinade the shrimp and veg overnight? Thank you!
Hi Dana, we have always made them fresh but I imagine that will work. I worry the veggies will get soggy, however. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
5 star-I prepared this recipe but decided not to cook all of it. I placed 1/2 of the shrimp and 1/2 of the veggies, placed each in separate zip lock bags. 3 days later, I cooked the marinated shrimp and veggies. The veggies were as crisp as the 1st day.
That’s so great! Thank you so much for sharing that!
I have made these several time for my family. They are awesome!! Best fajita recipe ever!! I also used chicken to make them – yum, yum!! Question – could this be cooked in the oven like a sheet pan dinner?
Hi Nancy, I haven’t tested that in an oven but I imagine that may work. If you experiment with that I would love to know how you like it.
Made this for date night & they tasted amazing! Thank you so much for this great recipe! Do you have suggestions on what Cajun seasoning brand to use in the future?
Hi Heather, I used a store-bought cajun seasoning by McCormick brand but you can substitute with your favorite fajita seasoning or even make your own homemade cajun spice like this one.
Hi Heather, I use the McCormick brand of cajun seasoning.
We made the shrimp tacos, following the recipe exactly – they were awesome!! Have made it a couple of times since then, using both chicken and steak, great with both of them. This recipe is definitely a keeper!! Thanks Natasha!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
I made these tonight They were awesome . Love following your meals.
Aww that’s so awesome! Thank you for sharing that with me, Kathleen!
Fantastic recipes of dishes I most enjoy. Done with your special style and personality
Thank you for that awesome review, Michael!
You seriously should have your own show!
You’re so nice! Thank you Rachel!
I totally agree!!!! I made the shrimp fajitas last night and OMG..!!! I see why Natasha was making all those sounds while eating it because I did the same thing!!! So freaking good! I hope my significant other didn’t eat it all because I plan to eat the rest when I get off work, lol!
That’s so great, Tasha! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Indeed I do! I still love the Creamy Shrimp Pasta as well.
That’s so great!
You’re Enthusiasm is wonderful! Love watching your videos!!
Thank you for that wonderful compliment!
Hi,Natasha,
Thanks soooooo much for this delicious recipe, we sure enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing a your recipes with us, they r simple & easy to understand. I’m going to try to make this weekend your chocolate cake. 😊💖👍
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Olga. I’m all smiles!
This is my second NK recipe this week. Made the chicken fritters last time and they were amazing. These were fantastic too. So flavorful and delicious.
I Highly recommend making the jalapeno ranch too–SOOO good.
My kids are now at the place where, when I see any skepticism from them about “what’s for dinner,” I tell them, “I got the recipe from Natasha.” And they are all like, “Whew. Ok. It’s cool then.” 🙂
I’m so happy you love our recipes! Thank you so much for the fantastic review and your encouraging words. I am smiling big reading your comment
First of all just wanted to say thank you so much for this amazing recipe! This was sooo delicious made it today for Father’s Day lunch and it was a hit also made the jalapeño ranch and my oh my were my taste buds dancing 💃
Sounds like you found a new favorite! Thank you for sharing your amazing review with us, Alena!
Excellent and quick (at least after cleaning the shrimp:) ) and served alongside diced mango made for a dinner that literally danced across the old taste buds. Incidentally what is your litter pick when it comes to cajun spice?
Thx
Bill
I’m so happy you enjoyed that Bill!! We use McCormick alot or make our own blends.
I made the shrimp fajitas tonight for the family and they were a hugh hit! Wonderful flavor and easy to prepare. For the dressing, my wife isn’t fond of jalapenos, so I took some ranch dressing, added some Cajun spice, Louisiana hot sauce, lime juice, and cilantro. It complimented the fajitas very well. Thanks for a wonderful recipe! I use a lot of your recipes in my daily cooking, and this will become a regular!
Sounds like you found a new favorite, Mike!! Thank you for sharing that awesome feedback with me!
Thank you! I plan to make my own with your suggestions.
You’re welcome!
I made these tonight – absolutely delicious!!!!!! I used sour cream instead of the jalapeno ranch – it was perfect. I will definitely make this recipe again (my husband loved it as well!!)
That’s so great, Carol! Thank you for sharing that with us!
i read the ingredients of the shrimp fajitas and i wonder if there is a substitute for the cajun spice. i can’t have anything spicy. thanks!
Hi Chiqui, cajun seasoning is fairly mild and I used a store-bought cajun seasoning by McCormick brand but you can substitute with your favorite fajita seasoning or even make your own homemade cajun spice like this one.
Drool worthy! Thanks for sharing!
You’re so welcome! I’m happy you enjoyed that!
Made these tonight along with the Jalapeño Ranch dressing and they were definitely a cloud pleaser!! Delicious 😋
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review Travis!
Very yummy! Made them today on the griddle:)
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review Alina1
Made this for my family tonight, not shrimp fans usually but LOVED this recipe! Thank you for sharing this! I have yet to try a recipe of yours that’s not been a hit in my home. You rock!
Awww that’s the best, Nazz! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m all smiles!
Amazing! My family loved it, it was so good their was no left overs. I made it with the jalapeño ranch dressing. I don’t like spicy food or ranch dressing but I loved that one. How long can I keep the dressing in the fridge?
I’m so happy you enjoyed that Stephanie! It keeps really well in the refrigerator for up to a week and only gets better with time as the flavors meld.
Hi! Wanted to know- what cajun spice do you use or do you make it from scratch? Thanks!
Hi Ashi, we use the McCormick Brand Cajun seasoning. You could make one from scratch but we do love the easy shortcut of the store-bought version.
The marinade is the best out there! Makes the shrimp just perfect!
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Suzy!
So delicious and bursting with flavor – can’t wait to make this recipe again and again!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
That was super cute and fun to watch! For realz! So hard to be Vadim. Sigh. xxx
LOL! Thank you for watching & for that awesome review Olena!
What cajun spice do you use? Thanks!
Hi Catalina, we used the Cajun Seasoning mix from McCormick.
Has anyone served the fajita shrimp cold rather than hot? I have a make ahead event that would require it.
Hi Denean, we prefer it warm, but I bet that could work! If you test it out, I’d love to know how you like that!
Oh my, this looks incredible!! YUM!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that!
Where do you get your shrimp? Or what brand are they?
Hi Ella, the shrimp were from Fred Meyer and I think they were Argentinian shrimp (wild caught) – not sure about the brand. I try to find wild caught when possible.
Truly delicious. I used Penzey’s Fajita seasoning and made the Jalapeno Ranch dip. They’re also very easy to make, although I’m not sure they qualify as a 30-minute meal unless you cut up the vegetables, peel the shrimp and make the dip ahead of time.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that Motria. Thank you for sharing that with us!
I love eating shrimp in the warmer months of the year and this is right up my alley! Looking forward to making this for dinner this week; yum!
I’m loving your dinner plans! I hope you lover it and don’t skip the Jalapeno ranch. It takes these over the top!
The step by step photos are just perfect! Such a quick and easy recipe!
It really doesn’t get any easier! I hope this shrimp fajita recipe becomes a new favorite for you!
