Directions

Prep 10 minCook 15 min
  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 450° and position a rack in the upper third. Peel and devein the shrimp and slice/chop the vegetables as noted.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, chili powder, cumin, and salt to make the marinade. Taste and adjust as needed.
