Method

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and toss with half the fajita seasoning, a little oil, and the juice of one lime.
  2. Slice the peppers and onion. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high and cook the peppers and onion with the rest of the seasoning until softened and charred at the edges, 5–6 minutes. Push them to one side.
  3. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until pink and opaque, 2–3 minutes a side.
  4. Warm the tortillas. Serve the shrimp and peppers with the second lime in wedges.

My simplified version leans on a published recipe I trust. I haven't reworked it into a tested original like the bread — so here's the source, with credit where it's due.
