The quickest (easiest) sheet pan dinner! Serve with warm tortillas for a lightening fast weeknight meal. SO GOOD!
A super speedy weeknight meal all made on one sheet pan? Yes, please!
With a simple chili powder mixture using pantry ingredients (chili powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika), I have been making this at least once a week, swapping out the shrimp for my other favorite sheet pan dinner.
When ready to serve, squeeze out those fresh limes right on top and warm up those tortillas. It’s quick, fast, and oh-so-so-good.

This was great. Also cooking veggies first a little then shrimp was perfect.
Looks so yummy. Im looking forward to cook this fajitas next weekend! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Really delicious recipe. I love it yummy!!! It’s really awesome
I make way too much fajitas that are based on chicken and definitely very little shrimp. I love the spiced version here and hope to test it out soon with the family
This was terrific!
When putting together I spread a thin layer of sour cream, and sprinkled grated cheese on tortilla and then added fajita and shrimp.
I failed to read cut peppers to 1/3″ and mistakenly cut mine to 1/4″. Don’t do what I did! They cook down and I ended up with matchsticks. Flavor was still spot on. Also, be sure to use large bell peppers and onion. I could only find mediums and there was not enough vegetable matter. Although this recipe has some prep involved, super easy and fool proof. Not too spicy, which my GF’s kids appreciate. This recipe lends itself as a do the afternoon ahead arrangement. Just pop in it the oven and 15 minutes later dinner is served hot. But it is so good and for me there was left overs the next day.
This was perfect in every was.. Delicious, easy to make, and a wonderful seasoning blend. Thank you!
I loved this recipe so much . It’s really awesome
Great easy meal while at the beach with the family! I doubled the recipe and lightly broiled the last minute to get a little char !
I just made this!! My Wife and I both LOVED this recipe. thanks
Absolutely delicious! I always love a good shrimp recipe. Thanks so much! I’ll definitely make this one again.
I made this today and it looks amazing and it’s pretty easy.. Thanks.
We made these fajitas last night and they were so good! So flavorful and easy to make too!
This recipe is amazing! The spice combination is just right! Very quick and easy to prep and cook. We are not big cilantro fans, so we used fresh parsley instead. We’ll be making this recipe often at our house. Outstanding! A definite home run!
Delicious! First time trying fajitas on a sheet pan. Followed the recipe exactly as written. Everything cooked evenly, veggies were tender & shrimp were done to perfection! The fresh lime and cilantro were key! Definitely adding to the rotation! Thank you!!!
This is the best shrimp fajitas recipe around. I have tried every single one of them, and none of them compare to this recipe. It’s easy, but has such great flavor that everyone will want to come over for dinner!
So delicious! So easy! I’ve made it twice now in less than two weeks. Used chicken and shrimp- 10/10!
Oh! It looks so delicious~~!! I would like to make this next time 🙂

Outstanding, and so easy, so tasty! I sent this to a bunch of my friends.
It is great in so many ways: low in fat, healthy, and fast! Thanks so much.
I had an avocado that needed using, and added a splash of El Pato hot sauce.
