For the best texture, avoid overcooking the shrimp. They should be pink, opaque, and just cooked through before adding the cheese. fillets on high heat for 2 minutes per side to form a golden crust. Let it cool before proceeding to keep the beef tender.

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (425°F for more roasted vegetables). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the vegetables. Slice the red, orange, yellow, and green bell peppers along with the onion into long, thin strips.
3. Prepare the shrimp. Peel, devein, and pat dry the colossal shrimp.
4. Season everything. Add the shrimp, sliced peppers, and onion to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil and fresh lime juice. Sprinkle with taco seasoning (or fajita seasoning) and lime pepper seasoning. Toss until the shrimp and vegetables are evenly coated.
5. Arrange on the pan. Spread the shrimp and vegetable mixture into a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
6. Bake for 7–8 minutes, or until the shrimp are nearly cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Add the cheese. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle an even layer of shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top. Return the pan to the oven for 3–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Finish the dish. Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and another squeeze of fresh lime juice.
9. Rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
10. Serve and enjoy! Serve your One Pan Shrimp Fajitas with warm flour or corn tortillas, yellow rice, black beans, or tortilla chips. Top with avocado lime sauce, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, or your favorite fajita toppings if desired.
