How To Make Zero Point Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas

Preparation is quick and easy, with just 10 minutes of prep time. You’ll start by combining a flavorful blend of spices including chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, oregano, and black pepper. This fajita seasoning adds a zesty kick to the succulent shrimp, making every bite a burst of deliciousness.

Next, you’ll peel and devein the shrimp, removing the tails, and place them in a large zip lock bag along with the fajita seasonings. Give it a good shake until the shrimp are well coated, ensuring that every piece is infused with the aromatic flavors.

For the colorful array of vegetables, you’ll slice up green, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, as well as a small yellow onion. These veggies will be the perfect complement to the shrimp, adding both texture and a healthy dose of vitamins.

Now, it’s time to assemble your sheet pan. Line it with aluminum foil and give it a light spray of non-stick cooking spray to prevent any sticking. Spread the sliced onions and bell peppers on the pan, creating a bed of vibrant colors. Then, pop it into a preheated oven at 425 degrees and let the magic happen.

After 30 to 35 minutes of roasting, your vegetables will be tender and slightly caramelized. It’s time to add the seasoned shrimp to the mix. Arrange them evenly over the vegetables, ensuring they’re spread out in a single layer. If you’re using cooked shrimp, simply bake for an additional 7 to 10 minutes to heat them through. However, if you’re using raw shrimp, you’ll want to increase the cooking time to 15 to 20 minutes to ensure they’re fully cooked.

Once out of the oven, give the sheet pan a gentle stir, allowing the flavors to meld together. For a refreshing touch, drizzle some lime juice over the top. The tangy citrus adds a bright note that complements the savory shrimp and veggies perfectly.

Now, it’s time to savor the fruits of your labor. Serve the delicious shrimp fajitas on top of a low point tortilla, over rice, cauliflower rice, or enjoy them as is. The possibilities are endless!
