Peace family,

Listen, you guys really love these spicy, “blackened” recipes and I have the data to prove it. Some of my most visited and tagged recipes continue to be:

  • Blackened Chicken Tenders
  • Blackened Ranch Dressing
  • Blackened Catfish

To their credit, they are all delicious. This recipe, of course, is no different. Sheet pan fajitas are bomb and easy. Seriously, talk about a crowd pleaser. Tender, succulent shrimp, an array of bell pepper slices, garlic, lime, spices for days. There’s nothing not to love, really. That is unless you hate seafood, but if that’s the case you wouldn’t be here in the first place. I’m certain that you’re going to absolutely love this dish, and that it will quickly become a weeknight staple for your family.  Let’s get into it. 

What Ingredients Do Need?

  • Shrimp – This recipe calls for two pounds. Buy raw shrimp, not precooked. The shrimp will need to be peeled and deveined with the tail off. You can buy shrimp that is already peeled and deveined if you wish, however that is usually the more expensive option.
  • Bell Peppers – It ain’t fajitas without bell peppers, right? For this recipe I used three large bell peppers; red, yellow, and orange. I cut the bell peppers lengthwise, into strips. Super easy.

  • Lime – I used the juice of one large lime to add flavor to my sheet pan fajitas.
  • Garlic – one tablespoon of freshly minced garlic brings so much flavor to this recipe. I used fresh, but if you use pre minced/jarred garlic I won’t tell nobody.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Spices/Seasonings – To make my blackened seasoning you’ll need salt, paprika, cayenne powder, chili powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Nothing outrageous here; many of these are spice rack staples in most households. 
  • Diced Onion
  • Cilantro

Optional Ingredients, Toppings, Garnishes

Listen. You can eat these blackened shrimp fajitas straight out of the oven, as is! When served this way they are not only low-carb and keto-friendly, but also Whole30 compliant and gluten free.

If you want to round the meal out a little bit more here are some other serving suggestions:

  • Tortillas – I used a low-carb variety that is available literally everywhere.
  • Guacamole – if you need a recipe, I’ve got you. Easy Keto Guacamole from Scratch.
  • Salsa
  • Sour Cream
  • Jalapeños – pickled or fresh. You can remove the seeds so that the heat doesn’t clash with the heat from the Blackened Shrimp.

What Tools Do I Need?

The tools I used for this dish are minimal and make for a super easy cleanup process:

  • Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Tongs – For Tossing
  • Whisk – for mixing the blackened seasoning blend
  • Glass Bowl
  • Oven

Is Blackened Shrimp Spicy?

This recipe definitely has a kick to it! If you’re sensitive to spicy foods, then you may consider adjusting the amount of cayenne powder used in the blackened seasoning blend. 

Is Blackened Shrimp Keto-Friendly?

Absolutely! This blackened shrimp recipe contains just 6 grams of net carbs per serving making it suitable for a low-carb or keto-friendly lifestyle. 

How to Make Blackened Shrimp Sheet Pan Fajitas

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F.

  • Place all of the seasonings in a small bowl and use a whisk to combine them. This will create the blackened seasoning.

  • To a large bowl, add the prepped shrimp, extra virgin olive oil, blackened seasoning, garlic, and lime juice. Use the tongs to toss the ingredients until the seasonings and oil are well distributed and coats all of the shrimp and peppers.

  • Place the contents of the bowl onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Spread the ingredients out into a single layer to allow for even cooking.
