Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp, tail off
  • 4 plant-based burger patties, cooked
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 8 ounces Portobello caps, diced
  • 1 white onion, sliced
  • 1/2 tablespoon fajita seasoning in the packet works great
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Instructions
 

  • On medium/high heat, add oil to pan, then add vegetables.
  • Next sprinkle fajita seasoning on vegetables, sauté reserving a nice crunch, then set aside.
  • Cook plant-based burgers thoroughly then set aside. (Prepare to add toppings after shrimp are cooked).
  • In another pan on medium heat, add fajita seasoned shrimp. Cook on medium heat about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Cook thoroughly.
  • Next, add your vegetables to your burger patty, top with shrimp, then add two slices of swiss cheese to each burger (patty).
  • Place in the oven on broil until cheese has melted.
  • Serve with or without a bun—and ENJOY!

Notes

  • Sub traditional shrimp with vegan shrimp and use non-dairy cheese to make this burger totally VEGAN.
  • Blackened seasoning works beautifully on the shrimp if you do not have fajita seasoning.
