Notes

  • Buy the shrimp that are already peeled and deveined to save time. 
  • Jumbo shrimp is great as they're easier to not overcook. 
  • Feel free to use fresh or frozen shrimp. Make sure to fully thaw the shrimp before cooking.
  • To store: Put the meal prep into an airtight glass container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat: Rewarm leftover shrimp fajitas in the microwave or on the stovetop. 
  • To freeze: Freeze in a freezer-safe bag once the fajitas have reached room temperature. Freeze for up to 3 months.
