Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Roast the vegetables for 10-12 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
  4. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the shrimp. In the same bowl (no need to wash), toss the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the seasoned shrimp to the baking sheet with the partially roasted vegetables. Spread everything in a single layer.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
  8. Serve the shrimp and vegetable mixture in the warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the shrimp in the fajita seasoning for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or corn to the sheet pan.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
