Shrimp Fajitas in Foil
Making fajitas has never been easier than this – simply wrap and bake. That’s it! And clean-up is an absolute breeze!
If I could, I’d cook everything in foil. Everything. But for now, these fajitas will have to do.
Now with this method, you have sizzling tender veggies and shrimp, tossed in taco seasoning and all conveniently wrapped in foil. This makes for easy serving and clean-up is an absolute breeze. You probably don’t even need serving plates here.
Best of all, you can bake these right at home, grill them in your backyard or cook them on camping trips. It doesn’t get easier (or simpler) than that!
Shrimp Fajitas in Foil
Making fajitas has never been easier than this – simply wrap and bake. That’s it! And clean-up is an absolute breeze!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- Juice of 2 limes
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill over high heat.
- Cut four sheets of foil, about 12-inches long. Divide shrimp, bell peppers and onion into 4 equal portions and add to the center of each foil in a single layer.
- Fold up all 4 sides of each foil packet. Add olive oil, taco seasoning and lime juice; gently toss to combine. Fold the sides of the foil over the shrimp, covering completely and sealing the packets closed.
- Place foil packets on the grill and cook until just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.*
- Served immediately with tortillas, garnished with cilantro, if desired.
Notes
*This can also be baked for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees F.

Could this be made in one foil packet and then divided for individual self serve?
Yes, absolutely, but you may have to adjust cooking time as needed to ensure that the shrimp is completely cooked through.
I Love your recipes! Seems like every time I like something it is yours! This is perfect as My Man doesn’t like Fajitas, but I Love them. Simple to make individually. Thanks!
sounds YUM; thanx for sharing!
Could this be adapted for chicken?
Yes, absolutely, but cooking time may have to be adjusted as needed to ensure that the chicken is completely cooked through.
