Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons of oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are golden, about 8 minutes. Add the chile powder and cumin; cook, stirring constantly, just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season to taste with salt, if desired. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl; cover and keep warm.

Remove the shrimp from the marinade; discard the marinade. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, just until opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt, if desired. Stir in the vegetables.
