Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, combine all the fajita seasoning ingredients: chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne (if using), salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion to the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and sprinkle with half of the fajita seasoning. Toss to coat evenly and spread in a single layer.
- Roast the peppers and onions for 8 minutes until they begin to soften and char slightly around the edges.
- While vegetables roast, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, minced garlic, and the remaining fajita seasoning until evenly coated.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Push the vegetables to one side and add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer on the other side of the pan.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred. The shrimp should curl into a C-shape when done.
- Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over everything. Serve immediately in warm tortillas with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
Notes
• For extra-charred vegetables, broil for the last 1-2 minutes—watch carefully to prevent burning.
• Don't skip patting the shrimp dry—this is essential for achieving that beautiful sear in the oven.
• Make it a bowl instead: serve over cilantro lime rice with black beans and skip the tortillas for an easy meal prep option.
