We love Fajita nights! Chicken Fajitas are a staple in my home, it’s Tommy’s favorite dish to cook (the first dish he ever made me!). These shrimp fajita are a fun twist on the classic dish made all on one sheet pan. You can also serve them over cauliflower rice to keep it low-carb and keto-friendly.
