Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch of Cilantro Lime Rice
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil more, if needed
  • 1 medium red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 medium orange bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 lbs. shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
 

  • Season the shrimp with cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Set aside.
  • Add two tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
  • Add the bell peppers and red onion. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables soften and develop a bit of color, approximately 10 minutes. Transfer the onions and peppers to a plate.
  • Add the shrimp to the same skillet. Add a little more olive oil, if necessary. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, to taste, and cook just until the shrimp turns opaque approximately 3-4 minutes. Do not overcook. Remove from heat.
