Shrimp Fajitas - Diabetic Style



Here is a favorite camping recipe - Shrimp Fajitas, diabetic style... I don't use rice or beans due to the carbs, but you certainly can. Also, I only use one wrap - a high fiber, low carb tortilla which is perfect for most diabetics (unless you have a wheat gluten problem).


The seasoning was Goya Adobo, a very common product you can find in many grocery stores with a Latino section. Otherwise, a little Mexican market will likely have it. If you can't locate Goya, use a bit of regular seasoning salt.

For one good sized portion of shrimp fajitas.... (And you can make them with sliced chicken or slices of beef instead or in addition)

1/2   pound raw medium or large shrimp (deveined and tails removed)

2     cups of diced red, yellow, green, orange bell peppers
1     cup 1/4 inch thick sliced onions
2 - 3 cloves garlic, chopped

Olive oil or some other high temp oil for cooking
Tortillas, if desired

Optional - jalapeno peppers. Go sparingly if using fresh - maybe 1/2 pepper at the most. I use a couple but it makes the dish very spicy.

In a skillet, cook the onions and peppers until the veggies start to soften and the onions are caramelized.    Add in the shrimp and cook just a few minutes - until done.  Add more Goya seasoning as desired. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice (optional) at the end of cooking if desired.
