Love these easy sheet pan fajitas? Mix it up with these sheet-pan chicken fajitas or sheet-pan steak fajitas! My shrimp enchiladas are another family-favorite Mexican food recipe featuring shrimp!

🥘Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas Ingredients

Keep to the bell peppers and omit the jalapeño if you want your fajitas on the milder side. You can always buy your favorite brand of flour tortillas, but I prefer making them from scratch - trust me, it's easier than you think!

  • Shrimp - 1 ½ pounds of shrimp (thawed and deveined).
  • Bell Peppers - 3 bell peppers (green, red, orange, or yellow - thinly sliced).
  • Red Onion - 1 small red onion (thinly sliced).
  • Cilantro - ¼ cup of cilantro (or use a cilantro substitute).
  • Chili Powder - 1 teaspoon of chili powder (or use a chili powder substitute).
  • Garlic Powder - ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Ground Cumin - ½ teaspoon of ground cumin.
  • Smoked Paprika - ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika.
  • Salt & Pepper - ½ teaspoon each, salt & pepper (to taste).
  • Jalapeno (optional) - ½ jalapeno pepper.
  • Lime - 1 lime (zest & juice).
  • Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).
  • Flour Tortillas - 8 flour tortillas; you can make my homemade flour tortillas or use your favorite brand.

🔪 How To Make Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas

After you prepare your shrimp fajita ingredients, then all of the hard work is over! You will need a knife, a cutting board, aluminum foil, measuring utensils, and a baking sheet to get started!

This easy recipe will make around 8 servings of shrimp fajitas! Load them up in tortillas, and you'll have a filling dinner.

  1. Prep. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line your sheet pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, if desired.
  2. Season. Place 1 ½ pounds of shrimp, 3 sliced bell peppers, 1 small sliced red onion, and ¼ cup of cilantro on the sheet pan. Sprinkle seasoning over the fajita ingredients, including 1 teaspoon of chili powder, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of ground cumin, ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper.
  3. Toss ingredients. Zest and squeeze the lime over the sheet pan ingredients, then drizzle with olive oil. Toss the fajita mix with tongs or hands until well coated with oil and seasoning.
  4. Cook fajitas. Cook in the oven at 450°F (232°C) for 8 minutes, then set your oven to broil for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked.
  5. Serve. Remove from oven and serve in warmed flour tortillas.

Top your shrimp fajitas off with salsa verde or fresh pico de gallo! They will taste excellent with your favorite Mexican side dishes like these refried black beans, or you can check out my post on what to serve with fajitas! Enjoy!

💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

  • If you're using frozen shrimp, be sure to set them in the refrigerator the night before or the morning you plan on cooking them. You can also use cold water to thaw your shrimp, and it takes about an hour to thaw a one-pound package of frozen shrimp per USDA-safe defrosting methods.
  • If you'd like to use a fajita seasoning instead, you can use 1 ½ tablespoons in place of the other seasonings.
  • Tortillas can be wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in the oven with shrimp fajitas sheet pan to warm or on the sheet pan with the fajita mixture. Just move everything over to ⅔ of the sheet pan and place the tortillas on the remaining side for about 5 minutes of the cooking time (before broiling)

🥡 Storing & Reheating

Allow the shrimp fajitas to cool completely to room temperature, then place them in an airtight container. Store them in your fridge for up to 3-4 days.

Freezing Shrimp Fajitas

Once the fajitas have cooled to room temperature, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer-safe plastic bag and freeze them for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve them again, simply thaw the fajitas in the refrigerator overnight, then transfer them to a baking sheet and bake as directed.

Reheating Shrimp Fajitas

To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the fajita mixture on a baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake for 10-15 minutes or until heated through to your liking.

❓ Recipe FAQs

Can I Use Frozen Shrimp To Make Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas?

Yes! If you have a package of frozen shrimp, you can use them for this recipe! Make sure to completely thaw out the shrimp beforehand by either placing them in the fridge overnight or using cold water to thaw them completely through for about an hour.

What Toppings Can I Add To My Shrimp Fajitas?

You can add a variety of toppings to your shrimp fajitas! My favorites are shredded cheese, sliced avocado, sour cream, and salsa. You could also add chopped cilantro, shredded lettuce, guacamole, chopped tomatoes, or jalapenos!

Can You Freeze These Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas?

Absolutely! Cook the shrimp and vegetables as directed, then store them in a heavy-duty plastic bag. Press all of the air out of the bag and transfer it to your freezer and freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw your fajitas in the fridge overnight and follow my reheating directions.
