First of all, it’s hard to believe that Labor Day is already upon us!  And, as a result, kids are back in school.  Where has the summer gone?  Steak & Shrimp Fajitas is the perfect meal for a busy day! 

Changing Seasons!

I think of  September as the gateway to the fall season, where the warm caressing breezes of summer are quickly ushered out by the cool winds of Fall.  Soon, here in the Midwest, the once beautiful green stalks of corn standing proudly in the fields will be ready for the harvest, yellowed by the hot sun’s frequent company and in stark contrast to the deep blue of the sky.

First of all, making sure your family gets a good meal that doesn’t take a lot of time to prepare, is a top priority.  Especially because sports practices, recitals, and homework require a lot of time during this busy season.  And, best of all, eating a delicious meal prepared quickly, and with love at home, is also a great way to get a little family time in each day too!

And so, Steak & Shrimp Fajitas is a one skillet meal that more than covers  delicious AND quick!

I have found that, for me, instead of cutting the steak into thin strips fresh or thawed, it is much easier to cut if the steak is partially frozen.

I can hear the steak sizzling in in the skill now!!! Steak & Shrimp Fajitas are just around the corner!!! I can hardly wait!!!

And I prefer to sear the steak and add the seasonings as it is cooking, then removing it from the skillet to a covered container to keep it warm while I saute the bell pepper and onion.  This helps to keep the veggies crisp, yet tender….yummmmmmm 🙂

All these delicious flavors in one pan!!!  And where’s the tortillas?

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does.  I’d love to hear your feedback!  Have a great weekend and holiday!  And most of all, stay safe!
