This Shrimp, Bell Pepper, and Onions Skillet is a delicious gluten-free meal that’s super-quick and easy to make and loaded with flavor. It’s ready in 15 minutes and is great as leftovers!
These past few days have been very crazy for me. On the one hand, I’m very excited about our trip to Europe next week. My husband has to go to England for work, so we decided to take advantage of this opportunity and visit a new country on a beautiful continent. We’re going to spend a week and a half in England and another week and a half in Portugal. Wow, three weeks in Europe! So cool!!
On the other hand, I haven’t been feeling very well these past few days because I have an annoying inflammation of my right eye. It’s nothing very serious, and I’m already being medicated, but it hurts a bit. I’m feeling much better and believe by the end of the week that I’ll be 100% good. Hopefully!
Even though I wasn’t feeling very well, I still cooked, but I chose easy and quick meals. I made my Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet, 5-ingredient Chicken Zucchini Boats, Cauliflower Fried “Rice”, and this Shrimp, Bell Pepper, and Onions Skillet I’m sharing with you today. All easy recipes that don’t require lots of ingredients and are not time-consuming.
I love this recipe because, even if you don’t have bell peppers or onions, you can still make this Shrimp, Bell Pepper, and Onions Skillet with other veggies of your preference, such as green beans and asparagus.

Shrimp, Bell Pepper and Onions Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small red onion sliced
- 3 large bell pepper sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup diced tomatoes with juice
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined, tail-on
- feta cheese for garnishing, skip the cheese if you are whole30 or paleo
Instructions
- In a large cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil, and sauté the onions, bell peppers, and garlic for about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes and all the spices. Toss well to combine.
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the skillet, and cook for 5-6 minutes or until they become pink. Be careful not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will have a rubbery texture.
- Turn off the heat, and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
- Serve with a side dish, such as a green salad, rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.

- Feel free to use whatever bell pepper you'd like. Red and orange are my go-to as they're the sweetest.
- Try to use the largest skillet you have, as it’ll help prevent the ingredients from overcrowding.
- To store: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Awesome! Happy you liked it 😉
I had 3 large bell peppers that were almost getting old in my refrigerator. I racked my brain and couldn’t figure out what I needed them for so I googled looking for a quick bell pepper/shrimp dinner and this sounded the best. I literally just wolfed it down over whole wheat pasta, it was perfect, so light and tasty! My mother said “that was delicious” after she finished eating as well. I followed to a t, thanks for the perfect recipe. It will now be a staple for these hot summer nights.
I’m so happy to hear it’s a hit! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your review!

You’re very welcome. Happy you liked it.
I very much enjoyed this recipe. It was easy to prepare and your notes regarding alternative ideas was helpful. I added fresh green beans to it. I used a sweet onion as that is what was in the pantry. I will definitely make this again as it is versatile…maybe I will try swapping the protein to chicken next time.
Glad you enjoyed it! Adding green beans and using a sweet onion sounds delicious. Swapping the protein to chicken sounds like a great idea for next time. Thanks for sharing!
