    Ingredients
      

    • 450 grams Marina Del Rey Wild Argentinian Shrimp (thawed & peeled) Size 20-30. 1 pound

    Dry Taco Seasoning

    • ½ teaspoon chili powder
    • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon oregano
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 red onion diced
    • 1 jalapeño slice into circles (seeds optional)
    • 3 peppers. (1 red, 1 green and 1 yellow) sliced into 1 ½ inch long strips
    • lime wedges for serving optional
    • flour tortillas

    Suggested Toppings

    • Guacamole store bought or homemade
    • Pico de Gallo store bought or homemade
    • Corn
    • Cilantro
    • Red cabbage thinly sliced
    • Sour cream
    • Hot sauce
    • Pickled jalapeños

    Instructions
     

    • In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, smoked paprika, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt & pepper. (Set some of the dry rub seasoning to sprinkle on the vegetables in Step #6.) Place the shrimp on a plate and season both sides with the dry rub. Set the shrimp aside.
    • Preheat a cast iron griddle (or large pan) over medium heat on your grill or stovetop.
    • Pour one tablespoon of oil on the griddle and add the onions. Let the onions cook down slowly as the cast iron heats up, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes). Turn the heat to medium-high, then add the peppers and jalapeños. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-firm and slightly charred on the edges.
    • Remove the vegetables to a plate, set aside.
    • Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the griddle, then add the shrimp, without overcrowding them. Cook shrimp for 1 ½ – 2 minutes, flip and cook for 1 ½- 2 minutes more (until shrimp are cooked through). Remove the shrimp to a separate plate, turn off the grill.
    • Then add back the peppers, onions & jalapeños back on the griddle and toss in some of the dry rub seasoning. Add the shrimp on top of the vegetables and serve on the sizzling hot griddle.
    • Serve the warmed flour tortillas and toppings on the side and let everyone assemble their own fajitas.
