Sheet-Pan Shrimp Fajitas

This recipe for Sheet-Pan Shrimp Fajitas is made with classic fajita ingredients — bell peppers, onions, fajita spices and shrimp, all cooked on one baking sheet. Shrimp doesn’t take long to cook, so we bake the peppers and onions for 10 minutes before adding the shrimp. Then bake everything together for another 10 minutes.

What are the best toppings for shrimp fajitas?

You can’t go wrong with the classic toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and fresh cilantro. I love to top shrimp fajitas with corn salsa, avocado crema, and grilled onions and peppers. But feel free to go with what you like best—hot sauce, diced tomatoes, and crunchy shredded lettuce all work!

How do you store leftover shrimp fajitas?

Keep leftover cooked shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for two to three days. Store your toppings separately, then assemble the fajitas just before serving.
