  • 1/2 medium onion
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Directions

  1. In an indoor/outdoor skillet combine onions, peppers, 2 teaspoons oil, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat. Place on the BBQ and cook, tossing occasionally until onions are caramelized, about 20 minutes. This could also be cooked on the stove.

  2. Season shrimp with chipotle chile powder, salt and pepper. While the onions are cooking, heat a large frying pan on high heat. Add oil. When the oil is hot add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from heat. Add juice from the lime and cilantro. Toss well. Combine with the cooked onions and peppers and serve with tortillas.
