About this recipe

For an easy weeknight meal that’s ready in less than half an hour, try these sheet pan shrimp fajitas.

Simply toss sliced vegetables with olive oil and seasoning and lay out on a sheet tray. Repeat the process with peeled and deveined shrimp, using a separate sheet tray so the shrimp doesn’t overcook. Alternatively, use one sheet tray and cook the vegetables on one side first before adding the shrimp to the other side to continue cooking.
