Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

Place bell peppers, onion and garlic in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil and half the chili powder mixture; gently toss to combine.

Place into oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are beginning to soften.

In a large bowl, combine shrimp and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and chili powder mixture.

Working carefully, move vegetables onto one side of the baking sheet. Place shrimp onto the opposite side of the baking sheet in a single layer.

Place into oven and bake just until shrimp are pink, firm and cooked through, an additional 6-8 minutes. Stir in cilantro and lime juice.

Serve immediately with desired tortillas.

For the chili powder mixture

In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Prep ahead of time. Save time by mixing the chili powder mixture in advance, and prepping and dicing the vegetables 1-2 days prior and storing them in airtight containers in the fridge.

Know your shrimp size. Shrimp size is calculated on number of shrimp per pound. The smaller the number, the larger your shrimp. There are about 40-50 medium shrimp per pound.

Buy frozen shrimp. For superior quality and freshness, using frozen shrimp is ideal (but avoid the bags with freezer burn), opting for a quick thaw under cold running water.

Make it vegetarian. Skip the shrimp and add diced sweet potatoes or mushrooms.

Reheat in the oven. Leftover shrimp can be rubbery when reheated in the microwave. For best results with leftovers, reheat in the oven at 325°F, covered in aluminum foil until warmed through.

How can I store leftovers?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 day.
