Shrimp Fajitas

Get dinner on the table in a half-hour or less with this quick & easy weeknight dinner of Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas – only a few ingredients are needed, and it can be ready in less than 30 minutes, and that’s me being generous; realistically it only took 14 minutes from start to finish. 

Ingredients In Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas 

• Shrimp – Jumbo shrimp shelled and deveined. Jumbo shrimp is preferred, but feel free to use large, medium, or whichever kind you have on hand.
• Olive Oil – Opted for olive oil for this version, but you can use just about any oil you have on hand.
• Rainbow Pepper Medley – red bell pepper,  yellow bell pepper,  and red onion cut into strips.
• Seasoning – Cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper
• Lime – I usually use lime, but lemon could work as a substitute. 
• Herbs – Fresh cilantro chopped up, totally optional but adds a nice touch as a garnish
• Tortillas – Flour or corn tortillas. For this recipe, I used corn tortillas.

How To Make Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas 

Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of this page.

1. Preheat the oven: To 400 F degrees.
2. Mix: In a large bowl, combine the oil, shrimp, pepper medley, and season generously with all the seasonings, then toss really well so that everything is well combined.
3. Bake the dish: Arrange the shrimp and pepper medley in a large shallow baking pan. Bake for 9 minutes or until no longer pink and cooked through. Careful not to overcook the shrimp. 

What Kind Of Protein Can I Use?

I usually use jumbo shrimp from our local seafood market; fresh or previously frozen will do, but you can use any protein at your disposal – chicken, pork, beef, or mushroom for a meat-free alternative. 

Can I Use Other Veggies?

Of course, you can! This dish is perfect for adding in some of your favorite veggies. Here are some of my favorites.

• Carrots
• Squash 
• Zucchini
• Potatoes
• Corn
• Head of cabbage cut into wedges.
• Tempeh
• Mushrooms
• Tofu 

Storing Leftover Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas 

You can store this dish in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 – 5 days. I wouldn’t recommend freezing it as the veggies won’t hold up well to thawing after cooking.
