Shrimp Tacos

[Bassbug]

Anyone have a good recipe for shrimp tacos that they have actually made?

[trntybay99]

Saute (I think I spelled that right) onions, bell peppers, and jalapenos (depending on your heat preference) in butter. When everything is cooked down add shrimp, dust with TexJoy Fajita seasoning, juice of one lime and continue until shrimp is cooked through about 3 min. Serve on warm tortillas with lettuce, some shredded red cabbage, tomato, guacamole, and cheese. I also cook redfish this way, just cube the fish it's great.
