Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajita Ingredients
This is an overview of the main ingredients in this recipe. See the recipe card for full ingredients and instructions, below.
Large Shrimp: I like to use shrimp that are on the larger side for this recipe but feel free to use your favorite variety of shrimp. Peel (you can leave the tails on if you like) and devein the shrimp before cooking.
Bell Peppers: Orange, green, and yellow bell peppers were my colors of choice for this recipe, but feel free to use any combination of bell peppers that you like.
Red Onion: I like the flavor and color of red onion but you could also use white onion or a sweet yellow onion.

How to Make These Healthy Shrimp Fajitas
See the recipe card for full ingredients and instructions, below.
Step One: Make the marinade by combining the spices, oil, lime juice, and lime zest in a small mixing bowl.
Step Two: Next, pour half the fajita marinade on the veggies and toss until the vegetables are well coated in the marinade. Pour the veggies out onto a sheet pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 425 degrees until the veggies are tender yet still crisp.
Step Three: While the veggies are in the oven, pour the other half of the marinade on the shrimp and stir until well coated. Let the shrimp marinate while the veggies are cooking.
Step Four: Now, make the cilantro lime crema. Add all of the ingredients to a high powered blender or food processor. Blend or process until the crema is smooth and creamy.
Step Five: Once the veggies are tender, add the shrimp and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through.
Step Six: Now it’s time to assemble the fajitas: start with a corn tortilla, then add the peppers/onions, and then shrimp. Top with cotija, pickled onions, fresh cilantro, crema, and whatever other toppings your heart desires!
How to Serve Shrimp Fajitas
Not only are these shrimp fajitas easy, they are incredibly versatile when it comes to serving. The obvious option is to serve the shrimp fajitas in your favorite tortillas. You could also use large romaine lettuce leaves or butter lettuce cups for serving instead.
If you want to go the untraditional route, you can also turn the fajitas into shrimp fajita veggie bowls.
To serve them this way, place the fajitas over your favorite bed mixed greens and then pile on all of the toppings. You can also serve the shrimp and veggies over cilantro lime rice or cauliflower rice with a salad or veggies on the side.
The cilantro lime crema really brings everything together but there are few other toppings that can really help take these fajitas over the top:
- pickled onions
- fresh tomatoes
- shredded romaine lettuce
- chopped cilantro
- fresh jalapeño slices
- salsa
- lime juice and zest
- cotija cheese
