Shrimp Fajitas are super easy to make and delicious!
You will want to put these on your permanent rotation, they’re that good.
I made a homemade fajita seasoning that only takes a few minutes. You need:
- Chili powder
- Cumin
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Oregano
- Black pepper
All you need to do is add the ingredients to a bowl and stir. It’s that easy!
How to make Shrimp Fajitas:
The first thing I did was make the fajita seasoning.
You need raw, peeled and deveined shrimp. Add the shrimp to a bowl and mix with the fajita seasoning.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. I use a nonstick skillet so I don’t have to waste points on oil.
Instead, I use olive oil cooking spray. It has the taste of olive oil without the extra calories.
I used two bell peppers for this recipe, one red and one orange. You can use whatever colors you like.
Cut the bell peppers and a small onion into strips. Let them cook for 5 minutes, until they’re somewhat soft.
Next, I pushed the peppers and onion to the side of the pan and added my shrimp.
Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side or until they’re no longer translucent.
I added the juice from 1/2 of a lime then mixed together the shrimp and peppers.
The points for this recipe do not include the taco shells. There are so many different brands you can use so I just did the points for the shrimp filling.

All that’s left to do is add your favorite toppings!
I like to add fat free sour cream, cilantro or Pico de Gallo.
Avocado or guacamole is also delicious. Just make sure you check and add any extra points.
