1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and
deveined
2 tsp canola oil
1 medium, onion sliced vertically
1 red or yellow pepper, deseeded and
cut into strips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap tortillas in foil, and warm them in oven for 15 minutes. Combine cilantro, lime juice, cumin, chili powder and garlic in a
glass bowl. Add shrimp. Stir well and marinate for 15 minutes. Heat oil in a large nonstick skill. Sauté onion and pepper for a 3-4 minutes, until softened.
