Yield:: 4 servings (8 fajitas)

Level:: Easy

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

Directions

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.
