Mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, chili powder, Old Bay seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.

Set aside half of the seasoning mix for later use with the bell peppers.

Add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the shrimp and mix in the seasoning using hands.

Heat olive oil in a hot skillet.

Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute on each side, being careful not to overcook them.

Remove shrimp from the skillet once cooked and set aside.

Drizzle more olive oil into the skillet to sauté the bell peppers and onion.

Sauté bell peppers and onion on medium-low heat for about 5 to 10 minutes until they are soft but not fully cooked.

Add the remaining seasoning mix to the sautéed bell peppers and onion and stir for an additional 3 minutes.

Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet with the bell peppers and onion, stirring to combine.

Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow more juice to develop.
