Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the 1 sliced bell pepper and 8 oz sliced mushrooms; cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 1 cup corn kernels and 1 lb shrimp to the skillet. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Warm the 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the shrimp mixture among the tortillas. Top each with a dollop of the 0.5 cup crema and sprinkle with the 0.25 cup cilantro.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately, with lime wedges if you like.
