2. Add the shrimp to the bag of marinade. Toss to coat well. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, turning occasionally.

3. After marinating, remove the shrimp from the marinade and drain well. Discard the marinade unless you plan to use it for cooking the shrimp.

4. In a skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until opaque and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.

5. If preparing ahead, the shrimp can be chilled for up to one day.

6. For the salsa and garnish, in a small bowl combine salsa, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest. Optionally, add a splash of tequila for extra flavor. This can be prepared up to 1 day in advance.

7. To serve, place the bowl of salsa in the center of a platter. Arrange the cooked shrimp and sliced bell peppers in a wreath pattern around the salsa.
