1. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Add sliced bell peppers and onion, sauté for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.

4. Push vegetables to the side and add shrimp to the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.

5. Toss shrimp and vegetables together, cook for 1 more minute to combine flavors.

6. Serve immediately with lime wedges, fresh cilantro, and warm tortillas if desired.

Swap vegetables as desired: zucchini, mushrooms, or asparagus work well.

Add cayenne or hot sauce for extra heat.

Substitute shrimp with chicken or tofu for a variation.

Cook shrimp just until opaque to avoid overcooking.
