Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges. Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, then mince shallot.Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.Roughly chop cilantro. Drain, then pat shrimp dry with paper towels, then season with Mexican Seasoning and salt.
Add tomatoes, shallots, cilantro, lime zest, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) lime juice, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer peppers to a plate. Set aside.
Reheat the large non-stick pan over medium-high. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then shrimp. Pan-fry until golden-brown and cooked through, 2-3 min per side.**
Wrap tortillas in paper towels. Microwave until tortillas are warm and flexible, 1 min. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm tortillas!)
Divide tortillas between plates. Top with shrimp, peppers, salsa and feta. Dollop sour cream over top. Squeeze a lime wedge over top if desired.
If you opted to add shrimp, using a strainer, drain and rinse, then pat dry with paper towels. Season and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to season and cook the tilapia, 2-3 min per side.**
