Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Shrimp Fajitas
What makes shrimp fajitas even better? Bacon! These shrimp are stuffed with jalapeno and cheese and then wrapped in bacon before being served with all the traditional fajita fixin’s.

Abuelo’s History
James Young immigrated to the U.S. from Taiwan and opened his first restaurant featuring Asian food in 1975 and was soon expanding his operation across Western Texas. It was in 1988, after deciding that two of his Amarillo locations were too close together to be profitable, that Young teamed up with Abuelo’s cofounders Dirk Rambo and Chuck Anderson to convert one of the locations to Mexican cuisine.
The first Abuelo’s restaurant opened in 1989 in Amarillo, Texas. The founders wanted to offer scratch-made Mexican cuisine in an authentic atmosphere surrounded by art and architecture found in Mexico. As of 2016 there are 38 Abuelo’s locations. Chef Luis Sanchez has been instrumental in developing the menu by sharing his own family recipes and making sure ingredients are prepared freshly before each meal.
