Make yogurt sauce. Purée jalapeño, yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, and a generous pinch of salt in a blender until very smooth. Taste and season with salt and more lime juice, if desired. Thin out with water to your preferred consistency.
In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice, and spices. Marinate for 15 minutes.
Slice the bell peppers and onions and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat and cook peppers and onions 4-5 minutes, stirring regularly, or until they're crisp, but tender. Transfer to plate.
Heat remaining oil in the same skillet. Sear the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, working in batches. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
Turn the heat off. Once the shrimp are finished cooking, toss shrimp, bell peppers, and onions in the warm pan, adjusting for lime and any seasonings.
Serve over greens with tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, extra lime wedges, yogurt sauce, and pickled jalapeños.
