Fajitas are a big favorite around here. They are super easy to make and taste amazing! Everything comes together on one sheet pan in just 20 minutes. This recipe is on regular rotation whenever we need a super fast and tasty weeknight dinner.
I love making seafood on a sheet pan because it takes no time at all to cook. Plus the shrimp comes out juicy and flavorful and pairs perfectly with the fresh and colorful veggies.
HOW DO YOU MAKE SHEET PAN SHRIMP FAJITAS?
- Start off by tossing the vegetables and shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Or if you already have favorite brand of fajita seasoning, you can certainly use that instead.
- Spread everything into a nice and even layer onto a large sheet pan.
- Bake in preheated oven until vegetables are tender and shrimp are just cooked. If you like your vegetables a little bit more tender, you can add them in a few minutes before the shrimp. To keep your vegetables on the crunchy side – bake them for a few minutes less.
- Serve over some lettuce, cauliflower rice or with these coconut wraps.
These Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas can also be made ahead of time for meal prep Sunday. Divide everything out into lunch containers to enjoy them throughout the week.
