Ingredients
Shrimp: One pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined. You can remove the tails either before or after cooking.
Vegetables: One red onion and 3 bell peppers, all thinly sliced. I used one green, one yellow, and one orange pepper to give a nice variety of colors. But if you can’t find one of each no worries at all. Just be sure to get 3 bell peppers total.
Seasonings: chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt combine for the perfect fajita seasoning mix.
Tortillas: Corn or flour fajita-size tortillas.
Lime: Cut into wedges for squeezing fresh lime juice over fajitas.
Optional toppings: Sour cream, fresh avocado, salsa, guacamole, cilantro, pico de gallo, jalapenos, and/or shredded cheese.
How to make sheet pan shrimp fajitas
Start by preheating the oven to 425°F.
Stir to combine your seasonings in a small bowl.
Place the sliced peppers and onions on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with half of the seasoning mixture. Toss to evenly coat.
Roast the vegetables for 10 minutes, or until they start to caramelize around the edges.
Stir the vegetables and push them to the perimiter of the pan. Add the shrimp to the center. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning mix. Toss the shrimp gently to coat and make sure they are laying in a single layer.
Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked.
Warm up your tortillas on the stovetop or in the microwave (I like to use one of these).
Spoon shrimp, peppers, and onions onto tortillas and top with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve with your choice of toppings and enjoy.
Storage
Store leftover fajitas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.

I cut my veggies thin. Only took 5 minutes to cook. Very good recipe!
Can we use pre-cooked shrimp?
I would suggest using raw shrimp. With cooked shrimp you would run the risk of overcooking them.
