  • Divide marinade for bell pepper slices and shrimp. Drizzle half of the mixture over shrimp. Marinate shrimp for at least 15 minutes.
  • In a sheet pan, spread bell pepper slices, jalapeño, celery and half of red onions then drizzle marinade. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 5 minutes.
  • In the same sheet pan, add shrimp and toss in the remaining red onions. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes. Keep watch as you don’t want to overcook the shrimp.
  • To save time and energy, place tortilla over a wire rack and place in the broiler area in the same oven with the shrimp.
  • Serve immediately with low carb tortilla, avocados on the side and drizzled with sour cream.
