- 1.5 pounds raw shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 large bell peppers thinly sliced
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil or other neutral oil
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
- Fresh lime wedges
- Warm tortillas, salsa verde, fresh cilantro, sliced avocado or guacamole for serving
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
In a small bowl combine chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, paprika and salt. Set aside.
Thinly slice peppers and onions into strips. Place on sheet pan and toss with 1 tsp of avocado oil and half of the seasoning mix.
Roast veggies for 8-10 minutes until softened, tossing halfway through.
While the veggies are roasting, toss peeled and deveined shrimp, remaining seasoning and 1 tsp of oil together in a bowl.
Remove sheet pan from the oven and add shrimp. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 6-8 minutes.
After 6 minutes, check shrimp for doneness and turn on the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the shrimp and veggies to pick up a little char. Watch carefully to not overcook the shrimp.
When the sheet pan comes out of the oven, squeeze with fresh lime juice and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and desired toppings.
The cook time on the shrimp is based on jumbo shrimp or 21/25 count. You may need to adjust the cooking time of the shrimp accordingly depending on what size you use.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
