Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

Juice of 1 lime

8 small flour or corn tortillas

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream and salsa (optional toppings)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well-coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are softened and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and opaque. Squeeze lime juice over the shrimp during the last minute of cooking.

        Combine: Add the sautéed vegetables back to the skillet with the shrimp, tossing everything together to heat through for an additional minute.

          Serve: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with a generous amount of the shrimp and veggie mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro and any additional toppings like sour cream or salsa.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, tasty shrimp fajitas!
