How to Make Blackened Shrimp Fajitas

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, ancho chili powder, paprika, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder and salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the bell peppers and onion and sauté until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the shrimp and cook on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are no longer pink.
Step 4

Divide the shrimp, vegetables and sliced avocado among the tortillas. Garnish with the cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
