    Easy sheet pan dinner.

    I don't know about you, but I love sheet pan dinners. So much so, that I did a whole round up of them - 10 Easy and Delicious Sheet Pan Dinners.

    Well, I'm going to have to add this shrimp fajita recipe to the list!

    This comes together so quickly and easily. You simply toss shrimp, peppers and onions with some flavorful spices and roast them. Then the shrimp gets a bit of a rest, while you broil the veggies.

    It's all topped with crema flavored with cilantro, jalapeño, lime and garlic!

    Ingredients.

    • Shrimp - peeled and deveined. This is a good way to use up smaller shrimp, like those marked medium or large. No need to pay more for the extra large shrimp with this recipe. Extra shrimp? Make these Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa.
    • Peppers - two bell peppers and one poblano, but really you can use whatever you have on hand.
    • Onion - I like to use red onion if I have it, but yellow or white onions are fine!
    • Olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, salt and coriander - can also use your favorite fajita spice blend from the store.
    • Sour cream, cilantro, jalapeño, lime and garlic - for that delicious crema.
    • Tortillas - corn or flour. If you bought a big pack or tortillas - you can't go wrong with these Thai Beef Steak Tacos or Chicken and Chorizo Tacos.

    Step by step instructions.

    Preheat the oven to 400.

    Thinly slice your peppers and onions and if your shrimp is not peeled and deveined, do that now.

    You can line your baking sheet with aluminum foil if you'd like, but do not use parchment paper because you will be broiling the vegetables at the end.

    On your baking sheet, toss together the shrimp and vegetables with the spices.

    Roast them for 9-10 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through.

    While the shrimp and vegetables are roasting, make the creamy sauce by chopping the cilantro and the jalapeño pepper. Finely mince the garlic and get some zest and juice from a lime. Combine all in a bowl with the sour cream and let the flavors meld.

    Not pictured: remove the shrimp from the tray and place them on a plate. Return the baking sheet to the oven with the broiler on high and broil for 3-4 minutes or until slightly charred.

    Warm the tortillas. I like to char mine quickly over a gas burner (watch them carefully though, do not take your eyes off of them, they can go from perfect to burned in a second!)

    You can also wrap them in foil and heat them in oven for about 5 minutes while everything is roasting. You can warm them in a dry skillet also about 30 seconds per side over medium high heat. Or microwave them in a stack, covered with a damp paper towel for 30 seconds and repeat until they are as warm as you'd like.

    Serve with the crema and extra cilantro.

    These are so good and so easy! This recipe serves 4, but you could easily serve 8 by using two baking sheets. Sometimes I make 2 and then freeze the other one so we can have shrimp fajitas whenever we want!
