Chili-Lime Shrimp Fajitas bring bright citrus and warm chili spice to tender shrimp, balanced by sweet sautéed bell peppers and red onion. Each bite is juicy and well-seasoned, ideal for quick weeknight dinners or casual gatherings where everyone can build their own tortillas. The fresh lime notes keep the flavors lively without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the shrimp.

1

In a medium bowl, whisk together chili powder, olive oil, lime juice, and garlic salt. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
2

While the shrimp marinates, heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Spray it with cooking spray. Add the bell peppers and the onion; sauté until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
3

Pour the shrimp and the marinade into the same skillet. Cook the shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 2 minutes per side.

Serve the shrimp, onion, and peppers in flour tortillas.
