Step 1

Turn the oven on to the warm setting or 150°F. Spread the tortillas on a sheet pan and place them in the oven. Allow them to heat up as you cook. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic and shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the shrimp, salsa, the juice of one lime, lemon juice, cherry tomatoes, yellow and red bell peppers, scallions and hot sauce. Increase the heat to high so all the ingredients are sizzling hot. Season to taste.

Notes:

It is okay to use frozen shrimp. Remember to first thaw thoroughly under cold running water.
Leftovers from this dish make a very nice spicy shrimp salad when served over greens with green goddess dressing! Make extra to use for tomorrow's lunch.
