Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Core and thinly slice the sweet pepper and green pepper. Cut the lime into 6 wedges.
Warm the tortillas
Stack and tightly wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil. Bake directly on an oven rack, 6 to 8 min., until heated through.
Start the vegetables
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the sweet pepper, green pepper, onions and garlic. Sauté, 2 to 4 min., until softened and just beginning to brown; season with ½ the spices and S&P.
Cook the shrimp & finish the vegetables
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towel and remove the shells from the tails; season with the remaining spices and S&P. To the pan of vegetables, add the shrimp. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 4 min., until the shrimp* are opaque and cooked through and the vegetables have browned. Add the juice of 2 lime wedges (double for 4 portions); stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Top with the shrimp and vegetables. Garnish with the remaining lime wedges. Serve the sour cream on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking shellfish to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
