The Best Shrimp Fajitas

Shrimp Fajitas are one of those easy breezy weeknight meals that take hardly any time at all. We’re talking 30 minutes, start to finish, and the end result is absolutely restaurant quality without the hassle of having to go out.

I’m obsessed with sheet pan meals because clean up is so easy! This is one of our favorites because my boys are shrimp lovers and fajitas are their love language.

I use a variety of bell peppers for amazing contrast and then the red onion adds additional color and flavor. Combine them with the right amount of seasoning and spices and you’ve got a dinner worthy of date night or guests but easy enough to serve to the kiddos on a Monday night.

If you’re feeling extra festive, prepare a batch of my yummy Pineapple Margaritas to serve with dinner!

What To Serve With Shrimp Fajitas

Forget the side dishes – this one pan shrimp dinner doesn’t need any help filling you up! Unless you want to go big of course! However, I definitely recommend serving your shrimp fajitas up with these fresh garnishes:

• Shredded Cheese
• Sour Cream
• Guacamole
• Pico de Gallo
• Cilantro

If you really want a side dish to accompany these fajitas, I recommend:

• Easy Mexican Rice
• Crock Pot Pinto Beans
• Crockpot Refried Beans
• Homemade Tortillas

Of course, this flavorful shrimp fajita dinner pairs wonderfully with a Pineapple Strawberry Mojito!

Shrimp Fajitas Ingredients

These ingredients are delicious, affordable, and simple – just the way all easy dinner inrgedients should be!

• fajita seasoning – you can use store bought but I totally recommend you make my fajita seasoning – it’s amazing and easy. I’ve also included a more simplified seasoning mix in the recipe card below that uses fewer ingredients.
• shrimp – you want large shrimp for this recipe, you can buy them peeled and deveined to save yourself a good amount of time. I used 20 to 25 count shrimp.
• olive oil– this helps the seasoning adhere to the veggies and shrimp and adds additional flavor.
• bell peppers – I used green, red and yellow bell peppers sliced into thin strips. Orange is a great color to add in too!
• red onion – love the color and flavor red onion adds to this shrimp fajitas recipe.
• tortillas – flour tortillas or corn both work well with this recipe.
• lime – sliced into wedges.

How To Make These Easy Shrimp Fajitas

The steps in this recipe are easy to follow, making it perfect for your weeknight routine! No one likes a complicated dinner on a Monday, right? From the beginning of prep to the end of cooking, the whole process should only take 20 minutes. See how it’s done:

1. Start off by preheating the oven to 425F.
2. While that’s heating up, make up your fajita seasoning in a small bowl.
3. Next, add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the sheet pan. Drizzle them olive oil before sprinkling over half of the seasoning mix. Toss it all together to combine!
4. Roast the veggies for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until they start to deliciously caramelize around the edges.
5. Once they’re cooked, push the vegetables to the sides of the sheet pan and add the shrimp to the middle.
6. Then, drizzle the remaining olive oil and sprinkle the remaining seasoning mix onto the shrimp. Toss the shrimp to fully coat them, then spread them out in a single layer.
7. Bake the shrimp fajitas for an additional 10 minutes, or until the shrimp have fully cooked.
8. Serve on flour tortillas with all the fixins’!

SHRIMP FAJITAS IN A SKILLET

If your sheet pan has suddenly disappeared, have no fear! You can make these shrimp fajitas in a skillet, too.

1. Simply sauté the shrimp until they’re cooked, then remove them from the pan before cooking the veggies.

2. Once the veggies are done, mix them all together back in the skillet, cook for a minute or two longer, and they’ll be ready.
