Shrimp Fajita Sheet Pan Dinner
These shrimp fajita and peppers are a super yummy option for your weekly meal prep. They’re quick and healthy and because you cook everything all on one sheet pan, there’s minimal mess too! I love Mexican food because it’s easy to make, full of flavor and all the while can be kept very lean. You can also easily add ingredients on – like choosing to serve with tortillas or guacamole if you need more carbs and fat – or just keep it simple and lean. This family recipe really caters for all and removes any concern about trying to hit your macros.
We often find ourselves getting stuck in a bit of a routine with our diets. So every now and again we do a little self-experimentation to see how we feel when we refocus our efforts on varying our nutrition. Jason has recently been experimenting with a pescatarian diet – well strictly speaking it’s been more of an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet as he’s been supplementing his protein sources with eggs and a minimal amount of dairy. His primary source of protein has been fish and shellfish, so we’ve been eating A LOT of salmon, tuna and shrimp. Those just happen to be our favorite kinds of seafood. Jason is – how should I put this delicately? – umm I guess lacking confidence in the kitchen. Yes that’s it, he lacks culinary confidence! So I’ve been trying to teach him some easy ways that he can fend for himself when I haven’t done any meal prep or simply haven’t been around. Enter this shrimp fajita sheet pan dinner!
