Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas
Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas
1 1/2-2 lbs. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 red, orange or yellow bell peppers, with seeds and stems removed, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
8-12 fajita-size tortillas, warmed
4 tablespoons melted butter (optional - leave out if making Whole30 version)
Juice of 1 lime
Chopped fresh cilantro
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
Cotija or Mexican blend cheese, for topping
Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the shrimp and the veggies in two large, separate ziploc bags.
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil and all of the spices and stir well. Divide the spice mixture between the two bags with 3/4 of the oil-spice mixture going in with the shrimp and the remaining 1/4 going in with the veggies, then toss well to coat.
Spread the peppers and onion on a large baking sheet in a single layer, then bake for 10 minutes while the shrimp marinates.
Once the vegetables are just starting to get tender, pull them out and give them a quick stir, then add the shrimp on top of the veggies and return the pan to the oven. Bake for 6-8 minutes more, until the shrimp are pink and almost cooked through.
Turn the oven to broil and cook the shrimp and veggies for another 2 minutes, until the shrimp is cooked through and the shrimp and veggies are just beginning to char a bit.
Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with the melted butter butter and lime juice, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and then serve with warm tortillas, sliced avocados, and cheese.
