Instructions:
Combine all ingredients, except shrimp and oil, in medium mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss shrimp into marinade and refrigerate 2 hours.
To cook, remove shrimp from marinade and let drain 5 minutes. Drain vegetables from marinade through large colander over saucepot. Bring reserved marinade liquid to boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes; set aside.
Heat large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of oil to skillet. Add shrimp and sauté until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove shrimp from skillet and keep warm. Add other half of oil to skillet, followed by drained vegetables. Cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Turn heat up to high and spread vegetables evenly throughout skillet.
Vegetables will start to brown on bottom of skillet. Arrange shrimp over vegetables and add reserved marinade.
Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray one side of each tortilla with non-stick cooking spray. Place tortilla, sprayed-side down, into hot skillet. Cook until tortilla begins to expand, about 1 minute, then flip and cook another minute. Place tortilla on large napkin. Repeat until all tortillas are cooked. Stack tortillas as cooked, then wrap with napkin and place on serving plate.
Serve immediately with side of your favorite guacamole and plate of warmed whole wheat tortillas.
