Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas Recipe
Description
This recipe arranges seasoned raw shrimp along with slices of red, green, and yellow bell peppers and sliced yellow onions on a rimmed baking sheet. The fajita seasoning and garlic infuse the ingredients with a classic Tex-Mex flavor profile. Olive oil and salt help the shrimp and vegetables roast evenly and caramelize slightly under high heat.
The sheet pan is roasted at 400°F, tossing once midway, for about 9-10 minutes until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Tortillas are wrapped in foil and warmed in the oven during the last five minutes.
After roasting, fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro are drizzled over the shrimp and veggies for brightness and herbal aroma. The filling is served warm wrapped inside the tortillas. This method simplifies fajitas to one pan, using fresh ingredients for a vibrant and flavorful meal with minimal cleanup.
