Sheet Pan Shrimp Tacos

Sheet Pan Shrimp Tacos feature shrimp tossed in a spiced butter-garlic marinade, baked until just cooked through, then served in tortillas with fresh toppings like cabbage, avocado, and queso fresco. The shrimp remain tender with a mild smoky and chili flavor. This hands-off baking method simplifies preparation while retaining shrimp’s juiciness.
