INSTRUCTIONS
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, smoked paprika, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt & pepper. Place the shrimp on a plate and season both side with the dry rub. Set 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 med-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.
Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the griddle, then add the shrimp, without over crowding them. Cook shrimp for 1 1/2 – 2 minutes, flip and cook for 1 1/2- 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 and toss in the shrimp 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.
