Ingredients

  • 1 lb medium shrimp
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lime
  • 1 bundle cilantro optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C)
  • In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper
  • In a large bowl, toss the shrimp, sliced bell peppers, and onion with the olive oil and the seasoning mixture
  • Spread the shrimp and vegetable mixture out on a large baking sheet in a single layer
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque
  • Remove from the oven and drizzle the lime juice over the top of the shrimp and vegetables. Toss to combine
  • Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top of the fajitas, if desired

Notes

  • Make sure to toss the shrimp and veggies with the seasoning mixture to evenly coat everything.
  • Use a large sheet pan to ensure everything has enough space and doesn't overcrowd.
  • Preheat the oven to ensure even cooking and crispy veggies.
  • Consider using a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • For an extra kick of flavor, squeeze fresh lime juice over everything before serving.
  • Customize the seasoning to your liking by adding more or less spice, depending on your taste.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp or it will become tough and rubbery. It only takes a few minutes in the oven!
  • Serve the fajitas hot with your favorite toppings and sides for a delicious and satisfying meal.
