Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp

1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

Cook the Vegetables

2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Shrimp

3. In the same skillet, add the marinated shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp.

Assemble the Fajitas

4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. To assemble, place a generous portion of the shrimp and cooked vegetables on each tortilla.

Add the Works

5. Top with shredded lettuce, cheese, avocado slices, sour cream, salsa or pico de gallo, and chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Serve with Sides

6. Serve the shrimp fajitas with Mexican rice and refried beans on the side for a complete meal.

Tips

• You can add other toppings like jalapeños, hot sauce, or corn for extra flavor.
• For a lighter option, use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
