Add to the skillet and cook until the shrimp are pink, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining lime juice and cilantro, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Heat the tortillas according to package directions. Arrange the lettuce leaves on plates and top with the onions and peppers, shrimp, and pico de gallo. Serve with the tortillas and lime wedges.
