Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. Slice the bell pepper and onion into thin strips, then set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until tender. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink. Fold in the crab meat and heat through for another minute. Add cilantro if desired, then remove from heat.
  4. Lay a flour tortilla flat, spoon a generous amount of the shrimp-crab mixture along the center, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Roll tightly around the filling.
  5. Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat, lightly greasing it with olive oil. Grill the roll-ups seam-side down for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and grill the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from skillet and let cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve warm with dipping sauces.
