Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil ((divided))
• 2 cups julienned onions ((170 grams/about 1/2 a large onion))
• 4 cups julienned bell peppers ((435 grams/3 medium bell peppers))
• 2 heaping cups sliced mushrooms ((140 grams))
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning ((divided))
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• salt and pepper, to taste
• optional for serving: rice (white or cauliflower), tortillas, lettuce cups, chopped romaine, diced tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, fresh cilantro, lime wedges...

Instructions

1. Cook your veggies. In a large skillet or cast iron over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil and let it get hot. Add onion and a little salt and pepper and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned. Then add peppers and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, add 1/2 tablespoon of taco seasoning and mix to combine. Add in mushrooms and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Remove vegetables from the pan.
2. Cook shrimp. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Place shrimp in the pan and sprinkle the half of remaining taco seasoning. Cook for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway through until pink and cooked through. I like to add half the taco seasoning to one side of the shrimp, flip, and then add the rest.
3. Add your veggies back to the pan.  Add lime juice and mix to combine until shrimp and veggies are incorporated.
4. Enjoy! Top with fresh cilantro and serve with sides of your choice.
