Ingredients:
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 bell peppers (red and green), sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more if you like it extra spicy!)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lime
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
- Flour or corn tortillas for serving
Instructions:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they start to soften and char slightly.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, being careful not to burn it.
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the fresh lime juice over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat with the citrusy flavor.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with warm tortillas on the side. Let your guests assemble their own fajitas by spooning the spicy shrimp mixture into the tortillas and customizing with their favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
