Anti Inflammatory Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas
Colorful, smoky, and ready in under 30 minutes, this sheet pan dinner is the kind of weeknight meal that feels like a treat without any of the effort. Three varieties of bell pepper and red onion roast at high heat until they're tender and lightly charred at the edges, while plump shrimp cook right alongside them in the final stretch — no extra pans, no fuss. The spice blend is where the real magic happens: cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and turmeric work together to deliver bold, layered flavor, and turmeric in particular is a standout ingredient for anyone eating with inflammation in mind. Extra virgin olive oil ties everything together and helps those spices bloom beautifully in the oven. A bright finish of fresh lime juice over the hot pan lifts every bite, and creamy avocado slices on top add richness that balances the heat. Corn tortillas keep things naturally wholesome, and the whole spread comes together for four people without a single complicated step. This is the kind of recipe that proves eating well doesn't mean sacrificing the meals you actually crave.
