Ingredients
For the shrimp fajitas
- 1 ½ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
For serving

Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the shrimp, garlic, chili powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, cumin, black pepper, and 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil. Mix together to combine and set aside.
- Heat remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 13-15 minutes until peppers have softened and onions have started to caramelize.
- Transfer the cooked peppers and onions to a bowl, cover with a plate, and set aside.
- Add the seasoned shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and no longer translucent.
- Add the cooked peppers and onions back into the skillet, and top with lime juice and chopped cilantro. Mix everything together, taste, and season with more salt if necessary.
- Remove from heat and serve in warm flour tortillas with sour cream, avocado slices, and other desired toppings.
Notes
- You can use any color bell peppers that you have. I used 3 different colors to make the dish colorful and inviting, but just use what you have!
- You can use any type of onion that you have - white, yellow or red are all great options!
