Keto Fajita Shrimp Skillet

10 ratings

Spicy jumbo shrimp, bright green peppers, seasoned “rice”, fresh avocado, and just enough melted cheese to hold it all together - this skillet is a pleaser at the dinner table. You can bump up this meal by including Carb Manager Keto Taco Shells, Tortillas, or Cloud Bread to fill with the fajita skillet. However, this recipe is enjoyable just as it is with a fork or spoon.

        Just made this tonight for tea. Absolutely delicious. I added a few cloves of garlic as it felt like it needed something. Absolutely delicious. Made the taco shells to go with it too, brilliant idea, turned out perfect.

          I was looking for a spicy dish and this really hit the spot. It feeds two but I ate the entire dish and it was also good for my goals

            This is really delicious! I don't like green peppers, so I swapped for red and added a dash of cumin. This is now one of my favorite recipes!
