Step 1
Start by heating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes. While it’s warming up, toss the shrimp, sliced onion, and bell peppers in a bowl. Give everything a light spray of oil, then sprinkle on the fajita seasoning and mix it all together so the flavors get evenly distributed. Pop the mixture into the air fryer basket and let it cook for about 8 minutes until the shrimp are pink and everything is tender. Once it’s done, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top for a nice zing. Serve it right away with warm tortillas and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish is quick to prepare and full of vibrant flavors. The shrimp cooks perfectly in the air fryer, staying juicy and tender. Plus, it’s a healthier option with less oil but all the great taste of traditional fajitas.
How to serve
Serve with warm tortillas, fresh avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add a squeeze of lime and some chopped cilantro for extra brightness. A side of Mexican rice or black beans pairs well to complete the meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave to keep the shrimp from becoming rubbery. Avoid freezing, as shrimp texture can degrade after thawing.
