Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined Fresh or frozen works!
- 1 tablespoon Fajita seasoning For flavor boost.
- 8 small Flour tortillas Mini burrito vibes.
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce Homemade or store-bought.
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese Or your cheesy favorite.
- Enough Oil for frying Let your inner chef shine!
- Optional Fresh parsley for garnish A pop of green for presentation.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, toss your shrimp with the fajita seasoning. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque, around 3 to 5 minutes. Avoid overcooking unless you fancy a chewing workout.
- Lay your tortilla on a flat surface, and spoon a dollop of Alfredo sauce in the center. Add a generous helping of shrimp and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Fold the edges over and roll it up burrito-style.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a deep pot or fryer until it shimmers (about 350°F). Carefully drop your burrito bites into the hot oil, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove them and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle some fresh parsley on top before serving.
Notes
Don't skip the seasoning! A little kick can elevate the dish. You can use leftover shrimp or experiment with other fillings.
