Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Grill Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are pink and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the sautéed bell peppers and onions back to the skillet with the shrimp. Stir to combine and heat through for another 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave.

  6. 6

    Assemble

    Divide the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly among the tortillas. Top each with grated mozzarella cheese.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately, allowing the cheese to melt slightly from the heat of the shrimp.
