Shrimp, bell peppers, onions, and seasonings come together in one skillet for delicious shrimp fajitas, drizzled with cilantro-lime cream, and wrapped in warm tortillas. This cooks quickly, so you'll want to have the shrimp cleaned and vegetables sliced before you begin. Top with avocado, pico de gallo, and cilantro, if you wish.
