Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Flour or corn tortillas, for serving
  • Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, sour cream, avocado, shredded cheese, salsa

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to char slightly.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Push the veggies to the sides of the skillet and add the seasoned shrimp to the center. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  5. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and toss everything together to combine.
  6. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use raw, deveined shrimp for best texture and flavor.
  • Try adding sliced mushrooms or zucchini for extra veggies.
  • For a low-carb option, serve over lettuce wraps or cauliflower rice.
  • Adjust spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
