Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, add sliced bell pepper and onion. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon fajita spice blend and toss to evenly combine.

Add onion and pepper mixture to a large sheetpan and roast in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, add prepared shrimp to the same bowl used for the veggies. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and remaining 1 tablespoon fajita spice blend. Toss to evenly combine.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Shrimp Thoroughly 🍤
Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels before cooking to ensure proper browning and prevent steaming on the sheet pan. Moisture is the enemy of caramelization.
Separate Cooking Times for Vegetables 🫑
Add shrimp to the sheet pan 5-7 minutes after the peppers and onions start cooking, as shrimp cooks much faster and will become rubbery if overdone with the vegetables.
Maximize Lime Flavor Impact 🍋
Char lime wedges directly on the hot sheet pan alongside vegetables to release oils and intensify flavor, then squeeze over finished fajitas for superior brightness.
Don't Crowd Your Pan 📏
Arrange ingredients in a single layer without overlapping to allow proper heat circulation and caramelization rather than steaming everything together.
Bloom Your Spices in Oil First 🌶️
Toss the fajita spice with olive oil to create a paste before coating vegetables and shrimp, which distributes flavors evenly and prevents spices from burning on the pan.
