Tasty Tuesday

I've been on the lookout for some easy meal dishes that don't take an hour plus to make.  This is a winner, 20 minutes including prep work (like pulling the tails off the shrimp, chopping peppers, etc.). It also has a recently discovered favorite, shrimp.  I realized quite recently I have the power to cook shrimp.  It's not hard, or a painful process.  And this recipe makes everything much easier. Throw everything on pan and cook. Take off pan and eat with tortilla. Yum!
