Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Tortillas, for serving
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, avocado, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers and onion. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In the same bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Arrange the seasoned shrimp on the baking sheet among the vegetables, ensuring everything is in a single layer.
  5. Roast for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Toss the shrimp and vegetables lightly. Return to the oven and broil for 2 to 4 minutes, watching closely, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through and the vegetables have slight charring.
  7. Serve the shrimp and vegetables immediately with warm tortillas and your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • For extra zest, add 1 teaspoon of chili lime seasoning to the shrimp marinade.
  • If you prefer a skillet method, cook the vegetables first in a large skillet over medium-high heat until tender-crisp, then add the shrimp and cook until done, about 3-4 minutes.
  • This recipe works well for healthy shrimp tacos or as a low cleanup dinner served over rice.
