Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas
Fajitas are always a hit at our house but the Chicken & Steak Fajitas definitely take a bit longer to make since the meat needs to marinade and everything goes out on the grill to cook. Enter these Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas that can be made from start to finish in under 30 minutes, in the oven, in one pan! I love doing sheet pan dinners during the week. They are so convenient and delicious and just make my job simpler as a mom/wife/homecook. Plus, most of the sheet pan dinners I make can easily be modified to be Whole30 compliant, like these One Pan Roasted Peppers, Onions, and Sausages that I shared a while back. These shrimp fajitas start with making a marinade out of a little olive oil and a bunch of spices. Don’t be intimated by the list of ingredients since you already have all of the spices in your cupboard. Everything can be prepped easily in under 10 minutes. I simplify by just tossing the veggies and shrimp with the marinade in two separate ziploc bags. That way while the peppers and onions are baking, the shrimp is marinating. Because seafood typically takes less time to marinade and can be easily overpowered by the flavors of the spices you are using, I think 10-15 minutes in the marinade is just right for the shrimp. Once the veggies are starting to get tender, you give them a quick stir before tossing the shrimp on top and sticking the whole sheet pan back in the oven. I like to broil everything right at the very end to give the shrimp a little char like you might get if you were grilling these, but you could just bake them all the way through until the shrimp is done, which only takes about 6-8 minutes. After a quick drizzle with some butter and lime juice, and a sprinkling of freshly chopped cilantro, these get served up with warm fajita-size tortillas (I like to warm them directly over the flame on my stovetop just to get the edges a little charred for that extra grill flavor) and some sliced avocado for a delicious, complete meal. If you leave off the butter, these Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas can be Whole30 compliant as well! And if you want to get ambitious and make a side dish to go with it, you can’t go wrong with homemade Mexican Rice or some fresh, authentic Pico de Gallo.
