Blue Ribbon Recipe

Make shrimp fajitas in minutes with your air fryer. The air fryer perfectly cooks the shrimp. There's a perfect balance of spices that coat the veggies. After air frying, the peppers and onions are still crisp and tender while the shrimp remains juicy. Wrap everything in tortillas, with a squeeze of lime, for a quick and easy dinner.
