Fajitas with Shrimps

For me, fajitas are not only summer food. Although it is very pleasant to cook them in summer, roasting vegetables, meat, poultry, or shrimp on the grill. But at other times of the year, fajitas will cheer you up. Our favorites in the family are chicken fajitas and shrimp fajitas. In late autumn and winter, we cook in a pan. It seems to me that different kinds of fajitas and burritos are good not only for a family dinner but simply created for the company. It is always a consistent success. I have already repeated and verified this many times. Judge for yourself: it’s simple, it’s interesting, it’s exciting and, finally, very tasty. A very good meal to while away the evening with friends and family.
