Shrimp Fajita Salad

Happy Cinco de Mayo!! What are you making for your fiesta today?? Here's a tasty suggestion:
(serves 4)

3 T. EVOO
1 large sweet* onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 assorted colors of bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
3/4 t. fajita seasoning
1/4 cup water
Juice of 2 limes, plus wedges for serving
1 t. agave nectar or honey
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1&1/4 lbs. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 flour tortillas
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1/2 cup pico do gallo

Heat 1 T. oil in a large nonstick skillet over med.-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally until slightly softened, about 5 mins. Add the bell peppers and 1/2 t. fajita seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts browning and the peppers are slightly softened, about 3 mins. Add the water and continue cooking until the veggies are tender, about 5 more mins. Meanwhile, whisk half of the lime juice with 1&1/2 T. oil and the agave in a med. bowl. Add half of the cilantro, and the onion and peppers (reserve the skillet). Season with S&P; toss to coat and set aside. Wipe out the skillet and heat over high heat. Toss the shrimp with the remaining 1/2 T. oil and 1/4 t. fajita seasoning in a bowl. Add to the skillet and cook until the shrimp are pink, 2-3 mins. per side. Remove from the heat and add the remaining lime juice and cilantro; season with S&P. Warm the tortillas as the label directs. Divide the lettuce among 4 bowls; top with the onion and peppers, shrimp, and pico de gallo. Serve with the tortillas and lime wedges. OLE!!!
