Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas with Honey and Lime
Juicy shrimp and tender onions and peppers, tossed in a mouthwatering honey lime fajita marinade, all baked on one sheet pan. The perfect tex-mex weeknight dinner idea!
I don’t know about you, but when the weather warms up, I tend to gravitate to food on the lighter side. But, I still crave those hearty comfort foods.
This recipe is the perfect combination of both! All the comfort of a sizzling pan full of fajitas, but made with refreshing honey lime shrimp.
The slight sweetness of the shrimp pairs perfectly with the delicious honey lime fajita marinade, and the whole thing is made on just one sheet pan!
To get the peppers and onion nice and tender with a little char, the fajitas are baked in stages, with the peppers and onion baked first, then the shrimp is added and the whole sheet pan is full of perfectly tender and juicy shrimp fajitas.
