02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it warm up for a few minutes. While it’s heating, 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 really coat the shrimp and veggies. Once everything is ready, transfer the mixture to the air fryer basket in an even layer. Cook for about 8 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through and the veggies are tender. When it’s done, squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for a bright, zesty finish. Serve it right away with warm tortillas and enjoy!
