This recipe is sponsored by Target. Let the oven and broiler do the heavy lifting for this super-simple weeknight dinner. Chili powder and cumin give lots of warm spice to bell peppers, onions and shrimp while just a few minutes under the broiler lends a lovely smokiness. Served with warm tortillas and a 3-minute homemade salsa, this is a mostly hands-off meal that's a real crowd-pleaser.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 bell peppers, assorted colors, stemmed, seeded and cut into strips
2 medium red onions, halved and sliced vertically
2 jalapeños, 1 sliced into matchsticks, 1 coarsely chopped
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons chili powder
3 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Half 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
1/2 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup packed cilantro leaves
1 pound frozen large tail-off, peeled and deveined raw shrimp, such as Good & Gather, thawed
Warm corn tortillas, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine the bell peppers, red onions and sliced jalapeño. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the oil, 2 teaspoons of the chili powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cumin. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss well, then spread in an even layer. Roast the vegetables until slightly softened and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the tomatoes, yellow onion, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, the coarsely chopped jalapeño, 1 teaspoon of the chili powder and 1 teaspoon of the cumin and process until nearly smooth. Add 1/2 cup of the cilantro and pulse until very finely chopped. Season the salsa with salt and pepper, then transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Remove the vegetables from the oven. Turn the oven to broil and position a rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source.
  • Combine the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon cumin in a medium bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss well. Scatter the shrimp over the vegetables and broil until the shrimp are just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the vegetables and shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 cup cilantro. Serve with warm corn tortillas and the salsa.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your fajitas are cooked evenly.
  • Choosing the Right Shrimp: Opt for large, fresh shrimp for the best results. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Seasoning the Shrimp: Don't be afraid to season your shrimp generously. A flavorful marinade or rub will help them develop a delicious crust.
  • Cooking the Shrimp: Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and pink throughout. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Veggies: Choose a variety of colorful veggies for your fajitas, such as bell peppers, onions, and zucchini. Cut them into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Cooking the Veggies: Sauté the veggies until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. You want them to retain their vibrant color and texture.
  • Assembling the Fajitas: When assembling your fajitas, start with a warm tortilla. Add a generous portion of shrimp and veggies, then top with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Sheet pan shrimp fajitas are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering.
