Tips and Tricks
1. Use large shrimp for easier cooking: Large shrimp are easier to cook and less likely to overcook.
2. Don’t overcrowd the sheet pan: Cook the shrimp and vegetables in batches if necessary, to ensure they have enough room to cook evenly.
3. Add some heat with diced jalapeños: If you like spicy food, add some diced jalapeños to the sheet pan for an extra kick.
4. Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas: Warm tortillas are essential for wrapping up your fajita filling.
5. Customize with your favorite toppings: Add your favorite toppings, such as diced avocado, sour cream, or salsa, to make your fajitas truly unforgettable.
