To start our Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas, let’s season the peeled and deveined shrimp. Simply toss the shrimp, taco seasoning, and lime juice together and set aside.
I have a great recipe for taco seasoning or you can use your favorite. - Prep and season the veggies.
Slice the onions and peppers and add to the sheet pan. Add the avocado oil and taco seasoning and toss until the vegetables are coated. Let them roast in a preheated 425° oven for about 10 minutes.
- Add the shrimp
Carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the shrimp to the pan, spreading them out into an even layer. Evenly sprinkle the top of the shrimp and veggies with Tajin. Return the shrimp and veggies to the oven and let them roast for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the shrimp are just done.
- Build your masterpiece shrimp fajitas.
Grab a warm tortilla of choice, pile it high with the roasted veggies and shrimp. Grab that ranch dressing and drizzle until your heart’s content. Finish with a fresh squeeze of lime. Eat that. And, repeat.

This recipe is gluten-free. Just make sure to be aware of the type of tortilla you choose for serving.
The serving options are endless for this recipe. If you’re not feeling tortillas, you can easily turn this recipe into fantastic nachos. Grab a pile of your favorite tortilla chips and build away.
This shrimp fajita recipe would be an awesome addition to a bowl or salad. For a bowl, you could use a base of rice (or cauliflower rice) and build up from there. For a salad, simply pile on the shrimp and veggies on top of a bed of lettuce, add some sliced avocado, and drizzle with copious amounts of that ranch dressing.
This recipe is so good though, you’ll be tempted to eat everything straight off of the sheet pan. That’s how I do it!
Mexican crema is basically a Mexican form of sour cream and it is amazing. It’s rich and creamy and slightly thinner than the sour cream you may have in your fridge.
If you don’t have any or cannot find it, just substitute regular sour cream. However, I highly encourage you to try it. It’s one of my all-time favorite ingredients. Ever.
Tajin is a wonderful addition to your spice collection. It’s a tangy, chili lime seasoning that goes well with everything from shrimp to vegetables to the rims of cocktail glasses. Grab some next time you think about it. You’ll use it all the time!
