Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas

One of my favorite meals I ate growing up, was steak fajitas…specifically from Goodfriends restaurant in Denver. I swear if I close my eyes I can still taste them. I have always have a soft spot for fajitas but really couldn’t imagine making them. Until I found this recipe. These are CRAZY easy to make. They aren’t steak, but they’re the next best thing…
