These Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas are seriously easy and delicious. Scoop these juicy shrimp, tender bell peppers and onions into a soft warm tortilla for a super fast weeknight dinner.

Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas Recipe

Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas

The onions and bell pepper are sliced very thin so that they cook at the same rate at the shrimp and everything is cooked on just one sheet pan. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro for a dinner that is packed with flavor and veggies!

Find the Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita recipe here and the Sheet Pan Steak Fajita recipe here.

In a large bowl, toss together sliced bell pepper, onions, olive oil and seasonings. If you prefer, skip the bowl and mix everything on the sheet pan and toss to coat.

Roast fajita mixture in the oven at 450 degrees for about 8 minutes. Then switch the broiler on and let the shrimp and bell pepper pick up a little char for about 2 minutes.

While the shrimp are cooking, warm fajita-sized tortillas on the stove-top.

This is the best 20 minute dinner ever! So flavorful and unbelievably easy to make! I left the tails on the shrimp to make them look a little prettier in the pictures, but they can be removed prior to cooking if you prefer and definitely removed before eating:0)

    This was delicious! I prepped everything in the morning, so all I had to do was put it on the sheet pan and put it in the oven. I used the same spices, just a little more of each. Thanks for the recipe!

      I usually thaw them first by running cool water over them in a colander. It’s really quick!

    I have been on a shrimp kick lately. This recipe looks delicious and quick! This works for me. I like using my broiler. It really gives the food that extra something. Lots of oohs and ahhs when it comes out of the broiler.

    This looks awesome!! Have you tried with chicken or steak? I wonder if changing up the meat would change the cook time?

    thanks for this recipe. It was delicious and easy to make. I made it for my son’s birthday! Came out wonderful except for the fact that I peeled and DeVaned The shrimp myself. I must’ve missed a few shells. Next time I’ll spend the extra money and buy it already peeled And deveined.

    These were SO. GOOD. After working all day and coming home to an insane toddler, these were easy to prep and get to the table. I served them with cheese, rice, lime cilantro crema, and store bought guacamole. YUM!!! Adding these to our dinner rotation …

      I would cook the veggies and then add the coked shrimp at the very end just to warm them!

    Take the tails off the shrimp! Nothing like biting into a fajita to hear and feel the crunch of a shrimp tail in your mouth. 😀

    But this looks great. I want some. It’s going to be on my list this month. 🙂

    I’ve made these (as stated) many times – this is a dinner that hits our table frequently. I serve with avocado slices; sour cream; and black beans cooked with a little cumin and garlic. Delish!

    This was one of the best Pinterest recipes I’ve ever cooked. We will cook it longer next time. Probably 8 minutes and 5 minutes. Seasoning was perfect!! I did marinade the items for about an hour. Delish and simple!!

    I need more of these! This was absolutely delicious and so easy to make! The only thing I’d leave out was the chili powder. I only used a little but I don’t really like hot. But I ate it and it was great! We travel in an RV and this would be so easy to make on the road.

    Had this recipe last night and it was hands-down delicious! It’s hard to find recipes that my husband and I can agree on! I’ve had great success with many of your recipes and can always trust that they will turn out. So many times, I see something that looks good on a website, but when I actually make it, it’s meh. Your recipes are 100% solid! Thank you!
