Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 red bell pepper sliced thin
- 1/2 onion sliced thin, or yellow onion
- 1 pound Shrimp medium to large size, peeled and deveined
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano rubbed between the palms of your hands, dried
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- black pepper fresh ground, to taste
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce or to taste
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1/2 lime
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- In a medium sized bowl combine the shrimp with half of the spice mixture, hot sauce and cilantro. Stir together until coated.
- Preheat a 12 inch cast iron skillet over high heat with 2 teaspoons of oil. When the skillet is hot add in the sliced peppers, onions and remaining spice mixture. Sauté the peppers and onions for about 4-5 minutes or until they have softened slightly. Remove them from the skillet onto a plate and set aside.
- Add another teaspoon of oil to the hot skillet and swirl it around the bottom. Add in the shrimp and spread them into a single layer. Cook for about a minute before stirring them around.
- Finish cooking the shrimp, approximately 1 more minute, then add the pepper and onion mixture back into the skillet. Squeeze in the juice of 1/2 of a lime and stir everything together. Serve immediately in corn or flour tortillas or for paleo lettuce cups or on top of cauliflower rice.
Notes
- Nutrition data doesn't include tortillas, cauliflower rice or lettuce.
