How to Make Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas

Alright, friends, let’s get cooking! The steps are straightforward, creating minimal cleanup and maximum flavor, a total win-win!

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. This helps to avoid a sticky situation and makes clean-up a breeze!
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, sliced bell peppers, and red onion. Now drizzle everything with olive oil and sprinkle in the garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, and salt. I like to get in there and toss it all together until everything is well-coated, you really want those spices to hug the shrimp and veggies!
Spread the mixture on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer. This is where the magic happens! Make sure everything has some elbow room; that way, you’ll get those deliciously roasted bits.
Pop that pan in the oven and roast for about 12 to 13 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the veggies are beautifully tender. Oh, the smell wafting from your oven will make it hard to wait!
Once it’s out, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the mixture. That’s right; unleash that zesty goodness! Sprinkle with cilantro, if you’re using it.
Serve hot with warm flour tortillas and any desired toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa. Wrap and enjoy the fiesta!

Serving and Storage Tips

How to Serve This Recipe

I love serving these fajitas with a side of Mexican rice or black beans. And don’t forget those toppings! Think sour cream, shredded cheese, and fresh guacamole. You honestly can’t go wrong.

Storage

If you happen to have any leftovers (though I doubt it!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating Instructions

Reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments until warmed through, or heat it up in a pan on the stove, stirring occasionally.

Freezer Friendly

You can freeze the raw fajita mix! Just thaw it overnight in the fridge before cooking. Cooked shrimp doesn’t freeze super well, so it’s best to enjoy it fresh.

In my opinion, that’s all there is to it! You’ll find that these Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas will become a staple in your home, just like they are in mine. Embrace this delicious flavor journey, and I promise you’ll want to make it time and time again. Bon appétit! For more Recipes Follow Us in our Pinterest.
