A no fuss dinner
We like any Mexican themed food and are always trying to make quick + easy recipes. These shrimp fajitas fit the bill on both counts. It only takes 10-15 minutes to prep the sauce and ingredients and then just let the oven do the rest of the work! Gather your toppings while the fajitas are cooking and you’ll be all set.
A note on the lime
We love lime flavor, so we tend to go heavy on the lime juice for this and other recipes. With that said, limes come in different sizes so the juice of two limes can vary quite a bit. Just use your own preferences and adjust the amount of lime juice you use to suit your taste.
Flexible serving options
These sheet pan shrimp fajitas can be served to suit your taste and fit whatever dietary needs you have. They are low carb and Whole30 compliant and serving options can be adjusted if you aren’t following those diets. Some ideas:
- In lettuce or cabbage shells as pictured
- With corn or grain-free tortillas
- In keto tortillas
- Over regular rice or cauliflower rice for an easy fajita bowl meal

Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas (Paleo, Whole30 + Keto)
Equipment
Ingredients
For the lime sauce:
- 2 limes, juice of
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp sea salt
For the Fajitas:
- 1.5 lbs jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 bell peppers, sliced into strips
- 1 onion, sliced into strips
For serving:
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Chipotle aioli
- Salsa
- Chopped cilantro
- 2 bunches broad leaf greens (bibb, romaine, chard, etc.) (or use corn or Siete tortillas – but greens only for Whole30)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the lime sauce by mixing all of the sauce ingredients together in a large bowl. You'll add the shrimp, bell peppers and onion to this bowl, so use a large enough bowl for that. Alternatively, you can mix the sauce up in a small bowl and just toss with the other ingredients on the sheet pan.
- Slice bell peppers and onion as noted and add them to the bowl.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss/mix to coat everything with the lime sauce.
- Spread the shrimp and veggies out on the sheet pan. Place in the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes. Watch carefully after 10 minutes and remove when the shrimp and veggies are cooked to your liking. If you want a little char on the top, you can switch the oven to broil for the last few minutes.
- While the fajitas are cooking, prepare lettuce leaves for shells and toppings as desired.
- To serve, spoon fajita mixture into lettuce leaves (or tortillas), top with your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Notes
Nutrition (per serving)
I had made the sheet pan chicken fajitas, so I was excited to try this version with the shrimp. The best part of both recipes is the fresh squeezed lime that adds a kick of flavor to the spices. I prepped this in the morning and threw it together and served tonight in less than 20 minutes.So tasty! My son had three in small street-taco size fajita wraps. Since we devoured all of this, I would double the recipe so I can have leftovers on a salad next time. Fantastic!
What a great review Kathy, so glad you all enjoyed this recipe 🙂
Is the sauce supposed to be thick
Yes the sauce is a little thick so it will stick to the shrimp. Enjoy!
Tried this recipe a couple weeks ago and it became an instant favorite! Super easy and soooooo yummy!
Sheet pan dinners are the best – and this was great
This recipe is so easy to make- worked perfectly to throw together really quick after work. So big on flavor! This is a recipe that we will come back to again and again- so good.
So glad you enjoyed this one Korey :).
Oh man, I wish I had found this recipe for my stay-at-home cinco de Mayo! Looks like I just need to have a re-do of the holiday soon. Oh shucks! Haha. Can’t wait to try this!
This recipe I had tonight for dinner and you crushed it guys! Funny enough, I was very on the edge of trying a Keto diet because there’s so much info out there and I was really confused at the beginning lol.I can’t stress enough that people should try this before wasting money and their time on things that don’t work. It changed my life!
Very happy you enjoyed the recipe :). Yes, the keto diet can be very beneficial for some people. We are happy to hear it has changed your life for the better.
