converting geojson to shapefile gives error "Unable to Unable to open datasource using following drivers"

Im trying to convert geojson file to shapefile. Below is the code

import ogr2ogr
import json


def main():
  #note: main is expecting sys.argv, where the first argument is the script name
  #so, the argument indices in the array need to be offset by 1
  ogr2ogr.main(["","-f","ESRI Shapefile","I:/shapefile/json_output.shp","I:/json_output.json -overwrite engine=GeoJSON"])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

I get the following error

Unable to open datasource `I:/json_output.json -overwrite engine=GeoJSON' with the following drivers.
