Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large skillet cook tomatoes and tomatillos in hot oil over medium heat about 6 minutes or until softened and skins begin to split. Add garlic and onion and stir about 1 minute or until translucent.
Remove from heat; stir in olives and capers.
Transfer to a shallow baking dish.
Season shrimp with salt and pepper; place shrimp on top of mixture in baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until the shrimp are opaque. If you’d like your tomatoes to have an added roasted quality, place under a broiler for 1 minute.
Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
