- Sheet pan-You can use one very large sheet pan or 2 smaller sheet pans.
- Shrimp – Large shrimp, peeled and deveined. I prefer tail off, but you could leave the tails on. large peeled and deveined shrimp, tail on or off. You can use frozen shrimp and thaw them or pick up some fresh shrimp at the seafood counter.
- Large Onions – I’m using a big yellow onion, but red or white are great too.
- Bell Peppers – I love colorful bell peppers if I can find them at a reasonable price, but use any color you have.
- Seasoning – Paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder. To make it even easier you can use a store bought taco seasoning or fajita seasoning packet!
- Olive Oil
- Lime Wedges or lime juice
- Tortillas – Flour, corn or lettuce wraps or serve over rice in a bowl.
What to use as shrimp fajita toppings:
- Cilantro
- Lime wedges
- Sour cream or crema- try mixing lime juice with sour cream, so yummy!
- Sliced avocados or guacamole
- Salsa or pico de gallo
- Shredded cheese or cojita cheese
- Shredded lettuce
- Pickled jalepenos
Tips & Tricks
- Try with with chicken or steak! Cut chicken into strips, toss in the oil and seasonings, bake at 350ºF for 20-25 minutes. I love flank steak. Cut the steak into strips. Toss steak in the seasoning and oil, bake for 5-10 minutes. Thin flank steak cooks quickly!
- Make a large batch of the fajita seasoning and store it for future use so you’ll always have it on hand. From a large batch use 2-3 tablespoons of the seasoning mix. Amazing for tacos too!
- Use flour tortillas or corn tortillas. I like to wrap them in foil and throw them in the oven for a couple of minutes to warm them. Or char them on a grill or hot pan. Try lettuce wraps for a low carb option. Or serve in fajita bowls over rice.
