Ingredients

12 ounce shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
0.5 yellow onion (thinly sliced)
0.5 cup black beans (no salt added, rinsed and drained)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1.5 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
1 lime
0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
0.125 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 1/2 teaspoons of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano. Season with 1/16 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red bell pepper and yellow onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pink and cooked through.
Stir in the rinsed black beans and cook for 2 minutes more to heat through.
Remove from heat. Squeeze the juice from half of the lime over the skillet. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with remaining lime wedges.
