| Yield: | 4 servings (8 fajitas) |
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 yellow bell peppers, quartered
- 1 red bell pepper, quartered
- 1 yellow onion, cut into thick rounds
- 1 bunch scallions, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp, tails removed
- 8 small flour tortillas, warmed
- For serving: sour cream, shredded iceberg lettuce, guacamole, shredded cheese and lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Use a pastry brush to coat both sides of the peppers, onions and scallions with some of the oil, then sprinkle with a quarter of the spice mix. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel, then brush with the remaining olive oil and season with the remaining spice mixture.
- Grill the peppers, onions and scallions until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board. Add the shrimp to the grill and cook just until they turn pink and begin to curl, about 2 minutes per side. Coarsely chop the vegetables and shrimp.
- Serve with the warm flour tortillas (I like to wrap a stack of tortillas in foil and warm on the grill) and sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, cheese and lime wedges.

Reviews
Excellent seasoning ! We make this often !! Thank you
My husband and I loved it. We used poblanos instead of yellow peppers, threw in mushrooms because we had them but did the rest as written. Served with cilantro rice and pico. So delicious! We used cast iron pan instead of BBQ
Sugar added didn’t taste right
Family staple!!!
Finally made this last night and decided to skewer everything to avoid feeding the BBQ gods when something falls through. We have a lot of the metal flat ones and it’s s-o-o-o much easier to turn things during cooking. It was delicious and we wouldn’t change a thing. Loved the idea of warming the tortillas on the cooler side of the grill and loved the seasoning.
This is a simple yet really tasty recipe! Very easy and quick to make!
A little bland, will add more seasoning or different spices next time
This is a keeper; the seasoning is very good. I put my shrimp on kabob skewers to prevent the shrimp falling between the grates. Also I used a poblano pepper for some more heat. Will make again soon! Thanks KL
I had saved this recipe when I originally saw it, but had not tried it until now. Wow, was it good. Loved the seasoning mix and think it would be good on other proteins as well. I will definitely use this again. Thanks for the great recipe!
Delicious! I have made several fajita recipes at home at this was by far the best. I made the recipe as written and the spice level was perfect. This recipe will definitely be in my dinner rotation throughout the summer!
