Ingredients

4 servings

1 pound shrimp (16/20, peeled and deveined)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
¾ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
¼ teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons lime juice (and zest)
2 tablespoons tequila (or rum, optional)
1 tablespoon jalapeno (minced)
¼ cup olive oil (divided)
2 teaspoons garlic (minced )
1 white onion (medium, 2 cups, ¼-inch thick slices)
3 bell peppers (4 cups, ¼-inch thick slices)
6 ounces brown mushrooms (¼-inch thick slices)
¼ cup cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Steps

In a large bowl combine shrimp, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, chili powder, pepper, lime juice, lime zest, tequila, minced jalapeno and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot add 1 tablespoon oil. When the oil just beginning to smoke add the shrimp in one layer in the pan.
Cook shrimp for 2 minutes, flip and cook 1 minute on the other side. Remove from hot pan to a clean plate.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan, once hot add the garlic and onion and saute for 1 minute. Add mushroom and saute 1 minute, then add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. When hot, add the bell peppers and stir occasionally -- about 2 minutes.
Add shrimp back to the pan, cook stirring for 1 minute to warm the seafood. Season fajitas with more salt and pepper as desired. Garnish with cilantro.
Serve spicy shrimp fajitas hot with warmed tortillas and lime wedges.
