Shrimp Fajita's

This is one of my all time favorite recipes and it is so quick and simple to make. As you can tell, I don't use a ton of spices. I like meals that are very tasteful, easy to make, and that look great. Presentation is everything when you are cooking. There are two ways to prepare this meal. Prepackaged ingredients or fresh. I prefer the fresh route, but for this post I am giving you the quick and easy way in addition to the fresh way. In this particular recipe I use HEB grocery products. I can give you options if you don't have an HEB near you. Try this one out and comment at the bottom how you like it or not.

This meal serves around 6 adults
