Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 red onion, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 2 limes

8 small flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, salsa

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Shrimp and Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, sliced bell peppers, and onion.

      Season: Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and add the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the shrimp and veggies are well-coated.

        Spread on Sheet Pan: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly on the sheet pan.

          Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender.

            Add Lime Juice: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and drizzle fresh lime juice over the top, tossing slightly to combine.

              Warm Tortillas: While the shrimp and veggies bake, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or cover them in foil and warm them in the oven for the last few minutes of baking.

                Assemble Fajitas: To serve, place a generous amount of the shrimp and vegetable filling onto each tortilla.

                  Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro and any optional toppings you desire, such as sour cream, avocado slices, or salsa.

                    Enjoy: Roll up the tortillas and enjoy your perfectly vibrant and flavorful Shrimp Fajitas straight from the sheet pan!
