Grilled Shrimp Fajitas

Grilled shrimp fajitas are a delightful, easy-to-make meal packed with bold flavors and vibrant colors. Marinated shrimp are grilled to perfection alongside tender red and green bell peppers and onions, creating a deliciously smoky and savory filling. Feel free to pair it with your favorite sides like sour cream, guacamole, and salsa for an extra touch of flavor!

Ingredients (for 4 servings):

• 1½ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 8 small flour or corn tortillas
• Lime wedges, for serving
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Sour cream, guacamole, and salsa, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly and let it marinate for at least 15 min.
2. While the shrimp is marinating, heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers and onion to the grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 min. Remove from the grill and set aside.
3. Add the marinated shrimp to the grill in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 min on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
4. While the shrimp are grilling, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until warm and pliable.
5. Divide the grilled shrimp, bell peppers, and onions among the warm tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro and squeeze lime wedges over the top.
6. Serve the fajitas immediately with your favorite sides like sour cream, guacamole, and salsa! Enjoy!
