This recipe for Sheet-Pan Shrimp Fajitas is made with basic fajita components — bell peppers, onions, fajita spices and shrimp, all cooked on one baking sheet. Shrimp doesn’t take lengthy to prepare dinner, so we bake the peppers and onions for 10 minutes earlier than including the shrimp. Then bake all the pieces collectively for an additional 10 minutes.
What are the perfect toppings for shrimp fajitas?
You may’t go mistaken with the basic toppings like bitter cream, guacamole, and contemporary cilantro. I like to prime shrimp fajitas with corn salsa, avocado crema, and grilled onions and peppers. However be happy to go together with what you want finest—scorching sauce, diced tomatoes, and crunchy shredded lettuce all work!
