Thread: Shrimp Fajitas

These are sooo good and easy. I like to double the sauce/spice mixture since i bulk up the veggies and i like it juicy. The green onions are a nice change and have also added asparagus and/or mushrooms since hubby wont eat the peppers. If you like more heat I would add in cayenne or even halved jalapeños (cook along with the shrimp) to the shrimp marinade, it is pretty mild otherwise.
