Who doesn't love a good sheet pan dinner? I am all for one pan (pot) meals. Simple to make and easy to clean up. Those are the kind of dinners that I like all year round.


This sheet pan Shrimp Fajita dinner comes together in just about 30 minutes. All the ingredients get a nice toss and coat of olive oil with spices like paprika and of course, kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Everything gets put on the sheet pan at once (which I love) and cooks quickly in a hot oven for 20 minutes.


I love these kind of meals, not only for their simplicity but for families with kids, its a great "make-it-your-own" kind of dinner, and those are usually the best!
