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.

3

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.

4

Finish and Serve

Remove from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and lime juice. Serve warm with rice or tortillas.
