Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail-off preferred)
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed
  • Optional toppings: avocado, sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to form a seasoning blend.
  3. Add sliced bell peppers and onion to the bowl and toss to coat.
  4. Spread the vegetables evenly on the sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, toss shrimp with the remaining seasoning mixture.
  6. After 10 minutes, remove the pan and add shrimp on top of the vegetables.
  7. Return to oven and roast for 6–8 minutes, until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  8. Squeeze fresh lime juice over shrimp and veggies.
  9. Serve hot in warm tortillas with desired toppings.

Notes

  • Use thawed and patted-dry frozen shrimp to prevent excess moisture.
  • For extra spice, add cayenne or hot sauce to the seasoning.
  • Double the recipe using two sheet pans to avoid overcrowding.
  • Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
  • Best served fresh; reheating shrimp too long can make them rubbery.
