Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail on
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 4 tsp PERFECT TACO SEASONING BLEND, divided
- 1 tsp GARLIC GODDESS BLEND

- Pinch of SPICY PEPPER BLEND (optional)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix 2 cups cold water with 1 tablespoon sea salt. Add shrimp and soak for 15–30 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Drain and rinse shrimp under cold water, then pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Set aside.
- Return shrimp to the bowl and season with 2 teaspoons Perfect Taco Seasoning Blend, ½ teaspoon Soulful Seasoning Salt, and a pinch of Spicy Pepper Blend if using. Toss to coat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine sliced bell peppers and red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then toss with 2 teaspoons Perfect Taco Seasoning Blend, 1 teaspoon Garlic Goddess Blend, and ½ teaspoon Soulful Seasoning Salt.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned vegetables and sauté for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly charred and tender-crisp.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet to create space for the shrimp. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.
- Toss everything together in the pan, squeeze with fresh lime juice, and remove from heat.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve immediately with warm tortillas, over a salad, sweet potato, quinoa, or Spanish rice.
