Fajita with Grilled Shrimp and Pineapple

by Editorial Staff

Prepare summer Mexican fajita with grilled shrimp and vegetables. All ingredients are fried separately, vegetables are cut and served next to warm tortillas so that everyone can wrap the filling themselves. The taste of the dish will turn out to be more exotic if you add grilled pineapples to the vegetables; with their sweet-tart taste, they harmoniously complement the searing jalapenos. Shrimps are fried on skewers. Pineapple rings, bell peppers, and jalapeno pod are mixed with butter and fajita seasoning and grilled as well, then served with a velvety avocado and sour cream sauce.
