Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Quarter lime. Halve, core, and thinly slice poblano into strips. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. • In a small bowl, combine guacamole, a squeeze of lime juice, and a dash of hot sauce (save the rest for serving). Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add poblano and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add half the Fajita Spice (you’ll use the rest in the next step) and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. • Push veggies to one side of pan; add a drizzle of oil to empty side. Add shrimp and remaining Fajita Spice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. • Stir veggies and shrimp to combine. Add a big squeeze of lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat.
• Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, about 30 seconds. • Divide tortillas between plates and fill with shrimp and veggie filling and spicy guacamole. Drizzle with smoky red pepper crema. Serve with remaining hot sauce and any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Apr 2026- Flavor: Many love the bold, spicy flavors and smoky red pepper crema, though some find the fajita seasoning too intense — using half the spice packet works well for milder tastes.
- Ease of prep: Super quick and easy one-pan meal that's ready in about 20 minutes with minimal cleanup.
- Suggestions: Add rice, beans, or fresh vegetables like lettuce for more filling; some shrimp may need deveining before cooking.
- Portions: Not enough guacamole for six tacos — many wish it came with double the amount for proper coverage.
- Texture: Could use something crunchy like cabbage slaw or fresh pico de gallo to balance the soft textures.
Reviews from our home cooks
These Shrimp Fajitas were so easy to make and took very little time. I love the one-pan dishes the best! The Red Pepper Crema and Spicy Guacamole were delicious! I LOVE fresh lime to brighten everything up. It was a hit with my husband too.
This was good and I would make it again. I hadn't used poblanos (only bell pepper) in fajitas before, so it was good to try something new. The shrimp were not super flavorful, not sure if this is the nature of the shrimp, or if maybe instructions should be added to salt & pepper them directly upon being added to the pan? I also suggest doubling the amount of guacamole you include for the 2 serving recipe.
Cantina Shrimp Fajitas are tasty, nice recipe. However, this box is not enough for a whole meal. I added red and green sweet bell pepper strips, and a side of lime and cilantro rice to round it out.
Really liked the one-pan cooking. I added additional red onion and 10 oz of pollack to pan with shrimp and had seafood fajitas for days. The Guacamole with the hot sauce was a great touch.
The Cantina Shrimp Fajitas were delicious. I really liked how the dry spices coated the shrimp. Next time I will remove the onions and pablano from the pan before adding the shrimp so the vegetables maintain a little crunch.
LOVED the one-pan cantina shrimp fajitas!!!! I would order these every week if they were available! Initially was a little scared of shrimp, but these were fresh, firm and tasty. Please put these on your recipe selections again.
These shrimp fajitas were amazing! The guacamole and red pepper crema are a great combination of flavors and just the right amount of spice.
Very tasty! The red pepper crema and spicy guacamole enhanced the flavor of the shrimp. My only complaint is that the fajita ingredients were very juicy and made for a slightly messy meal.
I love shrimp tacos and the only thing I'd change here is to add a bit more guacamole, but no big deal as we always have some on hand. This recipe was tasty and different for us with the red pepper crema. Easy to make too.
These were absolutely delicious with just the right amount of heat. The only thing I would have changed was to provide a bit more guacamole; there was really not enough for 6 fajitas.
