Shrimp Fajitas
One of my favorite things about this meal is that your dishes are minimal. We are talking about one sheet pan, one small bowl to mix your seasoning, and one cutting board. Plus, I think our family could eat shrimp a different way every day. This will take about 40-45 minutes to prepare.
You'll need:
🫑 1 large bell pepper
🧅 1 large red onion
🍤 a half pound of shrimp (approx. 40 shrimp)
🌯 6 tortillas
● 2 tsps of chili powder
● 2 tsps ground cumin
● 2 tsps dried oregano
● 1 tsp paprika
● 1 tsp garlic powder
● 1 tsp adobo
● 3 tbsp olive oil
● salt & pepper to taste.
1.) Preheat the oven to 425°. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Spray with cooking oil. I use extra virgin olive oil.
2.) Slice onion and bell pepper to your desired cut. I sliced them into strips.
3.) Peel and devein shrimp.
4.) In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, adobo, salt, and pepper. You can also use a store bought fajita seasoning.
5.) Layer peppers, onion, and shrimp in a single layer on your sheet pan.
6.) Toss in olive oil and mix in your seasoning mix.
7.) Bake for 20-25 minutes until shrimp are cooked through and vegetables are soft.
⭐️optional toppings: lime juice, cilantro, guacamole, cheese, hot sauce, sour cream, jalapenos.⭐️

Shrimp fajitas are not only flavorful but also quick and easy to prepare. With just a few ingredients like shrimp, bell pepper, and red onion, you can create a colorful and appetizing dish. One of the best aspects of this recipe is the minimal cleanup required – everything cooks on one sheet pan. This method retains the prawns' moisture while allowing the vegetables to caramelize beautifully. To add a unique flair, consider adjusting the spices to your taste. Additional toppings like fresh lime juice, cilantro, or even a dash of hot sauce can elevate the dish further. Pairing the fajitas with your favorite sides, such as rice or a fresh salad, can turn it into a complete meal. For those who prefer a health-conscious approach, you can opt for whole wheat tortillas or skip the tortillas entirely and serve the fajita mix over leafy greens for a low-carb option. This recipe is adaptable for families, making it an excellent choice for weeknight dinners where time is of the essence. Lastly, if you're interested in exploring different textures and flavors, you might also experiment with adding avocado or cheese as toppings. The options are endless with this versatile dish, making it a staple in any kitchen. Enjoy your delicious homemade shrimp fajitas!
