Arrange shrimp in an even layer in the pan and cook, turning once, until just starting to brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside. Melt butter in the pan over medium heat. Add onion, poblano, celery, serrano, garlic, oregano, salt and coriander; cook, tossing occasionally, until the onion and poblano are beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add tomato and cook, tossing occasionally and scraping up any browned bits, until the tomato begins to break down, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the shrimp and toss to combine. Wash and dry the pan. Return the pan to medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan and add a small mound of cheese (about 1/4 cup) in the center. Top with about 1/2 cup of the shrimp mixture and fold over like a taco. Move to one half of the pan and repeat to make another taco. Cook, flipping once, until the cheese is beginning to melt and the tortilla is lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Continue with the remaining tortillas, cheese and shrimp mixture. Serve with lime wedges and salsa, if desired.
