One Pan. All the Flavor. No Stress.

Fajitas are one of my family’s all-time favorite meals. I’ve shared chicken, steak, vegetarian, and all kinds of fajita twists on my site—but I’ve never shared a SHRIMP fajita recipe. And especially not one made on a single sheet pan!

These shrimp fajitas are packed with flavor, loaded with your favorite toppings, and reliable for a busy weeknight. They’re also a go-to when I’m hosting—straightforward to clean up, super flavorful, and they look way more impressive than the effort they take.

An assortment of sliced vegetables, including onions and various types of peppers, ready to be used in this recipe.

Ingredients

Bell Peppers: Use a mix of colors for a bright look and great flavor.
Red Onion: Slice thin so it cooks evenly.
Shrimp: Pat dry so the seasoning sticks better.
Seasonings: Mix the spices first for even coating.
Olive Oil: Helps veggies and shrimp cook evenly and get crispy edges.
Lime: Squeeze juice after cooking for the best taste.
Cilantro: Sprinkle on right before serving.
Tortillas: Heat or char them for extra flavor.

Quick Tip

For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in the seasoning and a splash of lime juice for 15–20 minutes before baking. It makes the shrimp even more flavorful!
