Succulent Sauteed Shrimp Fajitas

1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 clove garlic, pressed
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 red or green bell peppers, seeded and sliced
3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
8 flour tortillas
2 onions, sliced
salsa and sour cream, to serve

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the shrimp, half the lime juice, half the oil, half the salt, half the pepper and all the chili powder and cumin, stirring well to coat the shrimp. Heat the rest of the oil in a skillet over a medium high heat and cook the onions for about 5 minutes, until they are translucent. Add the rest of the salt and pepper and the bell peppers. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often.

Add 2 tablespoons of the cilantro and transfer the mixture to an ovenproof bowl.
Put it in the oven to keep warm. Heat a skillet over a medium heat and add the shrimp. Sauté them for about 4 minutes or until they are just cooked. Stir in the rest of the cilantro and lime juice. Wrap the tortillas around the vegetables and shrimp and serve with salsa and sour cream.
