What You’ll Need to Make Weeknight Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas
- Cooking Spray – We use regular cooking spray for this but any cooking spray, parchment paper or silicone baking mat may be used instead.
- Shrimp – We use between 1-2 pounds of uncooked shrimp 31-40 size, peeled and deveined.
- Bell Peppers – 3 medium bell peppers, any color. This is 3-4 cups, cut into strips.
- Onion – We like to use one small red onion cut into strips but one cup of white or yellow onion may be used if that’s what you have on hand.
- Pantry Staples and Spices – Olive oil, chili powder, salt & pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and paprika.
- Lime – We juice 1 medium lime over the mixture just before serving. This is about 2 tablespoons of lime juice and bottled may be substituted.
- Tortillas – We prefer 8 small (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed, but corn tortillas may be used if preferred.
- Optional Toppings – Sliced avocado, fresh chopped cilantro, sour cream, salsa, jalapenos sliced (or pickled), and lime wedges.
