Let’s face it. The meal prep lifestyle can be difficult without proper time management. This one sheet-pan shrimp fajitas recipe helps solve that. Prepping is further complicated when events and commitments surface. My recent road block was the annual Kansas City Restaraunt Week. As a foodie, I usually try to commit to trying out at least two-three new restaurants. I did exactly that!
My time was very limited to plan out and actually cook my recipes. Sheet pan and one-skillet dinners are perfect for saving time. For this dish, I literally whipped everything together in a bowl, drizzled olive oil, sprinkled seasonings throughout, and spread everything on a sheet pan. Shrimp cooks incredibly fast. You really can’t go wrong here!

I visited four restaurants for Restaurant Week. To provide a little background, Restaurant Week is an annual event in which multi-course meals are served for a largely discounted price. A portion of the proceeds raised by each restaurant is donated to various charitable organizations. Two of the restaurants I visited offered FOUR-course meals. The others offered three. Even with my two-a-days workout routine, I needed a meal with incredibly low carbs, yet delicious. These fajitas made an amazing recovery meal. I chose not to use tortillas because the fajitas are satisfying on their own, and HELLO, I could use a mini break from high carb meals.
As noted below, I used Trader Joe’s Reduced-Guilt Guacamole to save myself additional time. Check out my homemade guac recipe here. Also a great option!
The macros on typical guacamole are usually really good. Feel free to make your own if you wish. From time to time, I love to use the reduced-guilt guac from Trader Joe’s. I love the use of Greek yogurt. Very tasty!
To keep the macros low, and to continue on the low carb trend of the dish, I paired the fajitas with a small side salad. I used the Parmesan Ranch dressing from Trader Joe’s.

How smart to make these on a baking pan instead of an oily skillet! I am going to try your recipes and the Trader Joe’s guac.

Yum! I love fajitas, and using only one pan sounds perfect, because I don’t love doing the dishes!!

What a fast healthy meal. Would make a great lettuce wrap.

Use everything listed.
Shara
Sounds great! Do you cook shrimp from frozen or thawed please?

Hi, fresh shrimp.
Erika
This recipe is definitely added to our go to summer dinners! The only slight changes I made was using yellow & orange peppers and 1/2 a white onion instead of a red onion. The shrimp cooked perfectly, which I’ve never been able to achieve with other recipes. My fiancé used the shrimp/peppers in tortillas to make fajitas and I served mine over cilantro lime rice. I love how quick, fresh, and easy this recipe is. It was filling but didn’t make us feel overly full or bloated after eating. I highly recommend!
