Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Combine shrimp, bell peppers, red onion, olive oil, chili powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and paprika in a large bowl; toss to combine. Spread mixture on the prepared pan evenly. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cook in the preheated oven until shrimp are bright pink and firm, about 8 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler and cook for an additional 2 minutes. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Squeeze lime juice over mixture. (1 minute)

05

Step

Build fajitas on tortillas with avocado slices and cilantro. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the shrimp for 30 minutes before cooking. A simple marinade of lime juice, garlic, and a touch of olive oil works wonders.
Don't overcrowd the sheet pan. If necessary, use two pans to ensure even cooking and beautiful caramelization.
Customize your fajitas with your favorite toppings! Sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and shredded cheese are all excellent choices.
