Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F and lightly coat a large sheet pan with nonstick spray.
Season the Shrimp and Veggies: In a large bowl (or directly on the sheet pan), drizzle olive oil over the shrimp and bell peppers. Toss everything with the spices (chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper) until everything is evenly coated.
Bake: Spread the shrimp and vegetables in a single layer on the sheet pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Serve: Drizzle fresh lime juice over the shrimp and vegetables. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve with tortillas or lettuce cups, adding your favorite toppings like avocado, salsa, or cheese.

Notes

Spicy Fajitas: Add jalapeño peppers or poblano peppers for an extra kick of heat.
Low-carb option: Skip the tortillas and serve in lettuce wraps or as a fajita bowl.
Vegetarian Option: Swap the shrimp for extra veggies, like zucchini, mushrooms, or even cauliflower, to create a vegetarian fajita dish.
Different Proteins: Try chicken, steak, or even fish if you prefer something other than shrimp.
Storage: Store any leftover fajitas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheating: To reheat, warm the shrimp and veggies in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or reheat in the microwave in short bursts to prevent overcooking the shrimp.
