Ingredients for Shrimp Fajitas –

What kind of shrimp do I use to make these Shrimp Fajitas?

We used frozen/thawed medium size, raw, tail off 31-40 in a pound.
You can use any thawed raw shrimp, tail on or off, just depends on how you feel about plucking them off while eating. Me? I kinda like the activity :).
Keep them medium size if possible. If your shrimp is too small it will get over cooked and tough waiting for the veggies to catch up in the oven.

How to make Sheet Pan Chile Lime Fajitas:

This is pretty easy….

Mix up your simple marinade which includes, olive oil, lime juice and spices.

Slice your veggies. Keep them on the thinner side so they get done at the same time as the shrimp.

Toss!

NOTE: You can toss the marinade on the shrimp veggie mixture directly on the sheet pan rather than dirty a bowl but be careful you don’t have pools of marinade on the pan. This will steam the shrimp and vegetables rather than brown them.

We are not a big fans of super spicy, but if you are, kick up the marinade with a bit more crushed pepper and throw a sliced jalapeño into the veggie mix.
