Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 3

To prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery, pat them thoroughly dry before tossing with the oil and spices; this helps the seasoning adhere and ensures a proper sear.

Tip 2 of 3

For an extra flavor boost, toast the flour tortillas directly over an open gas burner for 5-10 seconds per side until charred, rather than just warming them in a microwave.

Tip 3 of 3

The mini peppers release juices during baking. If you prefer a drier fajita, roast them for 5 minutes before adding the shrimp to the pan.
