Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a large sheet pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Toss the bell pepper and onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread the peppers and onion on the prepared sheet pan. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, until tender.
  • While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the shrimp. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Then toss to coat the shrimp with remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the shrimp and stir, making sure all the shrimp are coated in seasoning.
  • Once the vegetables are tender, remove the tray from the oven and add the shrimp to the sheet pan. Toss to combine shrimp with the vegetables and arrange them all in a single layer for even roasting. If you want a char to your veggies, feel free to set them under the broiler for about 1 to 2 minutes before combining them with the shrimp.
  • Cook for 5 to 10 minutes more, until the shrimp have turned pink and started to curl. Overcooked shrimp become tight and rubbery, so it's best to check them early (around the 5-minute mark) and remove them as soon as they are done.
  • Serve immediately (as a taco, rice bowl, or lettuce wrap) with all your favorite toppings!

Notes

How to Store: Store leftover shrimp and veggies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep the shrimp from becoming rubbery. Freezing is not recommended. The texture of cooked shrimp changes when frozen and reheated. 
Prepare in Advance: Slice the peppers and onions up to 72 hours in advance. Marinate the shrimp in fajita seasoning up to 48 hours in advance. Store them separately in the fridge in airtight containers until you're ready to roast.
