Notes

Shrimp: I used raw, thawed shrimp (uncooked and deveined). You can use tails on or off. The one-pound pack had about 20-24 shrimp. 
Leftovers: You can store these shrimp fajitas in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. To reheat, warm gently in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
