Easy Shrimp Fajitas with corn, mushrooms, poblano peppers, and feta cheese. Everything can be prepared on the grill or in a skillet, so you can make them all year round. Delicious 30 minute meal!
Hi gang! I’ve got another easy delicious dinner for you!
It’s been salads all week due to the heat, but I did endure 103 degrees the other day for these shrimp fajitas, and I’m so glad I did!
They are ready in 30 minutes and totally embrace summer with fresh corn, and also utilizing the grill. BUT, what I really love is that you can make these all year long with frozen or canned corn, and instead of grilling, just throw everything in the skillet.
Thumbs way up from the family.
