Ingredients
- 1 1/2-2 lbs. medium shrimp peeled and deveined
- 3 red, orange, or yellow bell peppers with seeds and stems removed, thinly sliced
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 8-12 fajita-size tortillas warmed
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter, melted (optional - leave out if making Whole30 version)
- Juice of 1 lime
- chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 avocados, peeled and sliced
- Cotija or Mexican blend cheese for topping
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the shrimp and the veggies in two large, separate ziploc bags.
- In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil and all of the spices and stir well. Divide the spice mixture between the two bags with 3/4 of the oil-spice mixture going in with the shrimp and the remaining 1/4 going in with the veggies, then toss well to coat.
- Spread the peppers and onion on a large baking sheet in a single layer, then bake for 10 minutes while the shrimp marinates.
- Once the vegetables are just starting to get tender, pull them out and give them a quick stir, then add the shrimp on top of the veggies and return the pan to the oven. Bake for 6-8 minutes more, until the shrimp are pink and almost cooked through.
- Turn the oven to broil and cook the shrimp and veggies for another 2 minutes, until the shrimp is cooked through and the shrimp and veggies are just beginning to char a bit.
- Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with the melted butter butter and lime juice, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and then serve with warm tortillas, sliced avocados, and cheese.
