This turned out outstanding. I did use one less clove of garlic, but other than that, the shrimp was great, and we will definitely make again.

Very good. Very tasty, We made a few modifications the first we added sliced carrots and cut up asparagus, in our option excellent change. However the weather turn bad, so was ended up making them on the stove top, no problem still very tasty. Another thing we liked about this recipe is that the fajitas do not come out as sloppy as with most recipes we have tried. Best (with the veggie mod) shrimp fajitas we have found.
