Notes
If you will be serving the shrimp fajitas with tortillas, place the tortillas in aluminum foil and add them to the oven during the last 5 minutes of cooking to warm them up.
Be sure to use peeled, deveined shrimp and remove the tails before cooking to ensure the fajitas are easy to eat.
If you only have frozen shrimp, defrost in the fridge overnight or in a colander, with cold running water (this takes 20-30 minutes).
