Make zesty, sizzling shrimp fajitas with minimal cleanup using this fast sheet pan method. This easy recipe delivers bold Tex-Mex flavor perfect for busy weeknights or Taco Tuesday.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 8 small flour tortillas, warmed
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, avocado, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peppers and onions. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In the same bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Arrange the seasoned shrimp among the vegetables on the baking sheet, keeping them in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Immediately squeeze the fresh lime juice over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything gently on the pan.
  7. Serve the sizzling shrimp and vegetables immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a bolder flavor, use a pre-mixed Cajun seasoning blend in place of the individual spices listed.
  • If you prefer shrimp fajita bowls, skip the tortillas and serve this mixture over cooked rice.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp; they cook very quickly, which keeps them tender.
