My husband Patrick and I are on the search for the World’s Best Fajitas. Any time we eat at a Mexican restaurant, or any restaurant that serves fajitas, we order them to split. We’ve tried A LOT of fajitas.
The best ones so far came from a cozy restaurant in El Chalten, Argentina. The meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection and the onions were caramelized into a sweet and sticky heaven. They were amazing.
The one issue with our finding-the-best-fajita-quest is the fact that Patrick does not like shrimp. Or any seafood for that matter. (Gasppp). But shrimp fajitas are SO DANG GOOD.
So naturally Kiwi and Carrot took things into our own hands and created a simple, delicious shrimp fajita recipe. And not just any shrimp fajita recipe…ONE-PAN Shrimp Fajitas, because…dishes.
So if you’re on the hunt for the world’s best fajitas, or if you just appreciate a simple, tasty dinner, give these fajitas a try. They’re much more affordable than a trip to Argentina 😉
If you’re not a fan of seafood (you’re not living life to its fullest 😉 ) but need a one-pan recipe to make dinner time WAY easier for yourself, try this one pan lemon garlic chicken and veggies recipe, or this one pan pork tenderloin recipe! ONE-PAN meals are the secret to life.
