Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line your sheet pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, if desired.
Place shrimp, peppers, onion, cilantro on the sheet pan. Sprinkle seasoning over the fajita ingredients, including chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
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.
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.
If you're usingfrozen 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)
