Move onion and bell pepper to side of skillet; add shrimp to other side. Cook shrimp about 2 minutes or until just starting to turn pink. (Or, use cooked frozen shrimp. Thaw under cold water and add with the curry paste and lime juice.) Add curry paste and juice of 1/2 lime, stirring well to incorporate.
