How to Make Super Savory Shrimp Fajitas

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  2. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the seasoning blend.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the remaining seasoning blend with 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined).
  4. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly in the mixture.
  5. Set aside for at least 15 minutes to marinate.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add 1 large onion, sliced, and saute until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Add 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced, and continue to saute until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle the reserved 1 tablespoon of seasoning blend over the vegetables. Stir to combine.
  10. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  11. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  12. Add the cooked vegetables back to the skillet and toss to combine with the shrimp.
  13. Serve immediately in warm tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sour cream.
