INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 1/2 lbs. shrimp, peeled, deveined
• 4 tsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 tbsp jarred minced garlic
• 2 large yellow, red or green bell pepper
• 1 large cubanelle pepper, cut into 1/2-in dice
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped

DIRECTIONS

• Stir paprika, oregano, salt, cayenne, and black pepper together in small bowl. Place shrimp in large bowl; toss with half of spice mixture and set aside.
• Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat pan. When oil is hot, add onion; cook, stirring frequently, just until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bell peppers and Cubanelle pepper; sprinkle with remaining spice mixture and cook until crisp-tender and lightly golden, 4−5 minutes. Transfer mixture to bowl; cover and set aside.
• Set same skillet over medium-high heat; add remaining 1 teaspoon oil and swirl to coat pan. Add shrimp in single layer; cook 2 minutes, then turn shrimp. Cook, stirring, until shrimp are just opaque in center, 2 minutes more; add pepper mixture and toss to heat through. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
• Note: Cubanelle peppers, also known as Cuban peppers or frying peppers, are mild and richly flavored. If you can’t find them, you can substitute a small green bell pepper or, for a little heat, a fresh poblano pepper.
