Ingredients:

• 1 pound of raw shrimp, peeled
• 1 cup of your favorite salsa
• 1 sweet yellow onion
• 1 yellow or red bell pepper
• vegetable oil 
• 3-4 cloves of garlic 
• Fresh cilantro

Instructions:

1. Once you have the shrimp peeled, place them in a large mixing bowl and pour in the salsa. 
2. Wash the cilantro well and chop roughly. Add cilantro to your taste; some people like a whole lot, but for me, about 1 Tbl is good.  Add this to the shrimp, mix well, and let the shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
3. Slice the onions and bell pepper thin, julienne style. Do the same for the garlic.
4. Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a skillet and add the onions, peppers, and garlic. Saute on medium heat until the onions are clear.
5. Add the shrimp and salsa together. Simmer until the shrimp is done and serve!
