Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small tortillas
- Your favorite toppings (like avocado, salsa, or cheese!)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Get that heat going!
- In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp, sliced bell peppers, and onion with the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure every shrimp gets a nice coat of spice. They deserve it!
- Spread the shrimp and veggies evenly on a baking sheet. Try not to overcrowd them, or they’ll just steam instead of roast — and nobody wants sad shrimp!
- Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the veggies are tender. You’ll know it’s done when it smells so good, even the neighbors will be knocking on your door!
- While everything is cooking, warm your tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet or wrap them in foil and toss them in the oven for a few minutes.
- Once the shrimp and veggies are out, assemble your fajitas with a healthy pile of shrimp and veggies on each tortilla. Go wild with your favorite toppings — add avocado, salsa, cheese, or anything else your heart desires!
- Fold, eat, and enjoy the burst of flavors. Just make sure to have enough napkins because these bad boys can get messy!
There you have it! A delicious, colorful dish that’s sure to brighten your day. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or hosting a gathering, these Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas are a surefire hit!
