1 1/2 pounds Medium white shrimp peeled and deveined
Juice from 1 lime
3 tbsp. Olive oil , divided

Seasonings

1 tsp. Smoked paprika
1 tsp. Garlic powder

01

In a resealable small jar, combine all the ingredients for the seasonings. Seal and shake well. Reserve 1 1/2 teaspoons for the vegetables.

In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice and 4-5 teaspoons of the fajita seasonings. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Allow to marinate (no longer than 20 minutes) while you prepare the vegetables.
