A quick and easy sheet pan shrimp fajitas recipe that delivers juicy shrimp and perfectly roasted veggies with minimal cleanup, ready in just 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 medium bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large yellow or white onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning (chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Flour or corn tortillas, warmed, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin, even strips.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp, sliced peppers, sliced onion, minced garlic, olive oil, fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss gently until everything is coated evenly.
  4. Arrange the shrimp and veggies in a single layer on your sheet pan, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes. Halfway through (around 6 minutes), give everything a quick stir or shake to ensure even cooking and browning.
  6. Check the shrimp for doneness; they should be pink, opaque, and slightly curled. The veggies should be tender with some caramelized edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Toss gently to coat.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro if using. Serve immediately with warmed tortillas.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting. Use large shrimp for best texture. Stir halfway through cooking for even browning. Remove shrimp as soon as they turn pink and opaque to avoid rubberiness. Lime juice brightens the dish and balances smoky seasoning. Prep shrimp and veggies ahead to save time.
