Sprinkle the shrimp with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly with seasoning.

Heat olive oil in a skillet.  Add peppers and onions,  cook 3 minutes.  Add shrimp and cook until opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Sprinkle with cilantro and drizzle with lime.

Make the cilantro lime sour cream by combining all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and mixing well.
