Oxford

indignación f indignation, anger; (más fuerte) outrage;

What Smartranslators put down is perfect, "indignation" or "anger" for "indignación" . In this case, since it is even stronger, "gran indignación", I went ahead and used the stronger adjetive, although I formed it as a verb, "outraged"

makes me really angry/fed up

Explanation:
Not quite sure what register you're after, so here are a couple of more informal options. I've used "really" to reflect "gran".

In other, even more informal, words, really hacked me off, got up my nose etc etc!
