Preparation Instructions
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and jalapeño pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the Tomatoes and Spices
Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 4-5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them.
Finish and Serve
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and lime juice. Serve warm with rice or tortillas.
