2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice

In a large resealable plastic bag, toss the shrimp with the lime juice to coat. Set aside.
Remove the seeds from 2 of the jalapeno peppers and 4 of the banana peppers. In a food processor, chop all the jalapeno peppers, all the banana peppers, onion, and okra.

Mix the shrimp into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook 5 minutes, until shrimp are opaque.
