  1. Heat grill to medium-high. Brush peppers all over with 1 tablespoon oil and grill, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides, 5 to 9 minutes depending on pepper size; transfer to cutting board.
  2. Meanwhile, thread shrimp onto skewers, brush with remaining 1½ tablespoons oil and season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Finely grate zest of lime into small bowl, then add chips and cilantro and toss to combine.
  3. Using knife, gently scrape charred skin from poblano, bell and jalapeño peppers and discard. Cut all but mini peppers into pieces. Grill shrimp until opaque throughout, about 2 minutes per side. 
  4. In small pot, bring half-and-half to a simmer. Add cheese and whisk constantly until cheese is melted and sauce is thickened. Remove from heat, then spread on large platter. 
  5. Transfer peppers to platter on top of cheese and squeeze juice of lime over top, then sprinkle with tortilla mixture. Serve with grilled shrimp.
