Plan a Weeknight Fiesta With This Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas Recipe

If you were to dig deep into the heart of Texas, you’d discover a rich history of Tex-Mex cooking and a fascination with fajitas, whether they’re made with sizzling chicken, skirt steak, or, in this case, shrimp. We crave fajitas regularly and with good reason. Onions, bell peppers, and your meat of choice are stuffed inside warm flour tortillas and spiced with just enough heat to keep you coming back for more. Plus, if you have any leftovers, they’re great the next day on a salad.

We’ve developed a new fixation on fajitas, and with this recipe we think you will too. Pull out the trusty sheet pan and get ready for a baked rendition of shrimp fajitas. A few simple tricks amp up the flavor in this easy recipe. First, the marinade is quickly blitzed in a blender to emulsify and combine the spices. Then, the veggies go into the oven and start roasting while the shrimp is marinating. So, the real question is, who’s bringing the margaritas?

SHEET PAN SHRIMP FAJITAS RECIPE

(Serves 2-3)

Ingredients:

  • 2 limes
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and julienned
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and julienned
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons plus 1/3 cup canola oil, divided
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 pound (41/50 size) raw shrimp, de-veined and shelled
  • 6 flour tortillas
  • Mexican crema, sour cream, or Greek yogurt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set the sheet pan close by.

2. Juice 1 1/2 of the limes. Cut the other lime half into six wedges and set them aside.

3. Toss the bell peppers and onion into the 2 teaspoons of canola oil until coated. Scatter them onto the sheet pan in a single layer.

4. Pour the lime juice and garlic into a blender, adding in the remaining oil in a steady stream. Add the salt and spices, pulsing once to combine. Marinate the shrimp, tossing to coat in a large zip-seal bag for 15 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, roast the bell pepper and onion for 10 minutes.

6. Remove the shrimp from the marinade. Polka dot the shrimp onto the sheet pan of roasted veggies. Roast for 8 minutes more or until pink and fragrant.

7. Heat some flour tortillas and set out the Mexican crema or sour cream to serve with the lime wedges.

Sure, chicken breastsare healthy and versatile, but let's be real: the thighs are the real winner. They're cheaper, juicier, and more flavorful, yet they're often overlooked. Why not give them the love they deserve?

Enter these crispy Honey-Lemon Chicken Thighs with a yummy, easy pan sauce. Quick, easy, and involving a single skillet and everyday ingredients, this recipe is perfect for those who haven't yet learned their way around a thigh. The best part? They're super versatile. If you want a tangier flavor, add more lemon. If you prefer a more savory dish, ease up on the honey.

Serve with your favorite veggies, and you've got four meals full of crispy, finger-lickin' chicken deliciousness in less than 45 minutes. Say hello to your new weeknight favorite: Honey-Lemon Chicken Thighs.


Ingredients for Honey-Lemon Chicken Thighs

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5-6 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • juice of half of a lemon
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh parsley, stems removed and chopped

Directions for Honey-Lemon Chicken Thighs

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pat chicken thighs dry, and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle olive oil over the skin sides.
  2. Set a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken thighs, skin-side down, until very browned and crispy, about 15 minutes. Readjust them about 5 minutes through so the fat touches the skillet and coats it with liquid.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat, and scatter garlic beside the chicken. Place the skillet in the oven until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  4. When the chicken is cooked through, set it on a separate plate, leaving the garlic and juices in the skillet. Add butter, lemon juice, and honey to the skillet, and stir, scraping off the browned bits, over low heat. When combined, replace the chicken, and spoon the sauce over the thighs. Garnish with parsley.

Austin Butler as Elvis, Selena Gomez as Linda Rondstat, and now Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan — there will never be enough biopics for me! (The real question is when are we going to get a Taylor Swift movie?). When pictures from the set of the new Bob Dylan movie, A Complete Unknown, hit Twitter, I had to do a double take because Timothée Chalamet looks so much like the musician I couldn't believe my eyes!

Timothée is going to be joined by Met Gala queen Elle Fanning, as well as Top Gun superstar Monica Barbaro. Here's everything you need to know about the movie — and our favorite Bob Dylan songs to listen to while you wait for its release.

Elle Fanning and Timothée Chalamet In "A Complete Unknown"

twitter.com

Elle Fanning totally embodies the late '60s vibe in this fall outfit. The bold maroon blazer, the long straight hair, and the striped turtleneck — I love it all! Elle is starring this Bob Dylan movie as Sylvie Russo, a university student and artist Bob falls for in the '60s.

twitter.com

Thanks to some onset leaks, we also got a glimpse of the movie's version of The Freewheelin'! Elle Fanning and Timothée Chalamet look incredible as Sylvia Russo and Bob Dylan. I'm a sucker for any kind of recreation, so seeing this new version of the classic record cover is incredible!!

Monica Barbaro Sings Her Heart Out

We also got a look at Monica Barbaro as singer-songwriter Joan Baez, who was one of the first major artists in the 1960s to record Bob Dylan's music!

The First Pictures From Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan Movie

twitter.com

Timothée Chalamet has totally transformed into Bob Dylan on the set of A Complete Unknown. And when I saw the pictures of Timothée carrying the guitar my jaw dropped!! He completely engrossed himself in Wonka and Dune 2 and I'm so excited to see him do the same for this Bob Dylan movie.

What is the movie about Bob Dylan called?

Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan movie is called A Complete Unknown. As of March 2024, the movie is filming around New York City, and James Mangold is serving as director (you might recognize his name from Logan, Girl, Interrupted, and Walk the Line). The movie will reportedly cover the period during the 1960s when Bob Dylan shifted from folk to rock'n'roll, changing the face of pop culture (and culture in general, TBH), forever.

"When that movie finally comes out, people are going to be shocked because you're going to think you're hearing Bob Dylan sing," vocal coach Eric Vetro tells PEOPLE. "[Timothée Chalamet] just has this uncanny ability to not impersonate, but really breathe life into it. He's embodying Bob Dylan and what he was like at that age."

Who else is in A Complete Unknown with Timothée Chalamet?

The A Complete Unknown cast is incredible! Alongside Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan, we'll see Top Gun: Maverick's Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, and Nick Offerman as Alan Lomax.

When is the Bob Dylan movie coming out?

We don't have an official release date for A Complete Unknown. However, since filming has already commenced, there's a good chance we'll see the movie in the fall of 2025. And since Timothée Chalamet has been seen in turtlenecks, hats, and jackets on set, this sounds like the perfect fall movie to me!

I always need some brand new music to listen to once the weather gets chilly, and I will for sure be listening to anything Timothée records.

What song did Bob Dylan write for a movie?

Bob Dylan wrote "Things Have Changed" for the 2000 movie Wonder Boys, which starred Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire, and Katie Holmes. This Bob Dylan song ended up winning the Academy Award for Best Original Songand the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song!

"Knockin' On Heaven's Door," which is arguably the singer's most popular track, was released two months after the 1973 premiere of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid as a part of the film's soundtrack.

What are some other Bob Dylan songs to listen to?

Image via Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

I totally agree that one of the best Bob Dylan songs is "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," but "Blowin' In The Wind" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'" are also great songs to listen to if you're a new Bob Dylan fan. So far, "The Times They Are A-Changin'" is my personal favorite song.

His style is the perfect blend of rock and folk that reminds me of summer picnics and walks in the woods. His sound also reportedly inspired Taylor Swift's Folklore!

We're all about colorful Easter egg dye come spring, but if we're honest, we're not always thrilled with the cleanup. Whether you're dyeing with or without a kit, there are tons of bowls, spoons, and paper towels to scrub once your finished. And don't even get us started on what happens if you spill the dye!

If you want to dye eggs this year but are feeling hesitant about everything it entails, don't worry because this hack from Reynoldsis here to save the day. We like to hard boil our eggs before dyeing, but blown eggs work just as well. Then just grab your slow cooker and get dyeing!

An Easy + Clean Egg Dye Hack

First, make some DIY slow cooker dividers with cardboard wrapped in aluminum foil.

Once your slow cooker is divided into four sections, line each section with saran wrap, plastic bags, or slow cooker liners. This will let you use more than one color, but still gives you enough space to dye multiple eggs at once!

Next, fill each section with water. Make sure that, while you want to fill them enough for multiple eggs to be submerged, you don't fill them too high. You don't want the water to overflow — that's definitely not mess-free!

Image via Reynolds Kitchens

Add your Easter egg dye to each section. Pink, purple, and blue are classic shades!

Gather your hard boiled or blown eggs to add to the water. You can use strips of tape or string to make all kinds of striped and dotted designs. Then all you have to do is just drop them in the water and wait! This is the perfect opportunity to make a colorful Easter cocktail ;).

The longer the eggs sit in the dye, the darker the color will turn out. So if you prefer pastel eggs, only leave them in for a few minutes.

When you remove your eggs from the dye, let them dry on a cookie rack before you remove the tape and the string. Display them on a pretty plate along with your Easter desserts, or as a centerpiece!

Image via Reynolds Kitchens

Voilà! A rainbow of colorful eggs, all boasting different designs. And the best part is, all you have to do to clean up is throw away the liners and the cardboard, then put your slow cooker back in your cabinet. We'll definitely be doing this from here on out.

How To Dye Easter Eggs: More Colored Egg Dye Ideas For Display

Marbled Nail Polish Eggs

If you're not too keen on buying food coloring that you'll only use every once in awhile, just use your nail polish! Instead of adding dye to the sections, pour in your polish. You can use a toothpick to swirl everything around and achieve that marbled look. Have some nail polish remover nearby because your fingers will get messy.

Mosaic Easter Eggs

This hack is a great option for using up hard boiled eggs because you have to peel one to make it! (AKA, you'll have a snack to accompany your DIY). After you peel an egg that you've already dyed, use a hot glue gun to attach the broken shell pieces to a second, plain egg. Easy-peasy.

Sharpie Tie Dye Eggs

This Easter egg design only takes ten minutes, which makes it perfect for busy evenings or for kids who can't sit still for too long. Fill your slow cooker sections with nail polish remover instead of water, then color your eggs with as many Sharpie colors as you want. Dunk them into the nail polish remover (or smear with a wet Q-tip) to give them that tie-dye look.

Housefront Easter Eggs

Paint your favorite TV characters' apartment building or your childhood home onto eggs for a fun and nostalgic DIY. Once you've drawn your design, you'll want to tape up the rest of the egg to make sure the dye stays where you want it. Paint the house with the egg dye, or submerge the whole egg in a slow cooker section. Set to dry.

Like any good comfort show, Sweet Magnolias feels like a warm hug (even if it's a nice spring day — the show is just that good!). Watching this series feels like drinking the perfect glass of iced tea...plus it'll make you appreciate your female friendships even more than you already do. Somehow, it's been almost a year since we saw Maddie, Dana Sue, and Helen, but the good news is that our favorite ladies are back in action because Sweet Magnolias Season 4 is officially filming! Here's everything to know about the new TV show.

Will there be Sweet Magnolias season 4?

Image via Netflix

Yes, we're getting a Sweet Magnolias season 4! The senior season was confirmed in October of 2023 after season 3 dropped in July. I can't wait to see what all our favorite Serenity residents are up to this time around!

When is Sweet Magnolias season 4 coming out?

Image via Netflix

Sweet Magnolias season 4 started filming in February of 2024. Based on the timeline for season 3 (which released a year after it filmed), we could see it in February 2025!

How many episodes are in season 4 of Sweet Magnolias?

Image via Netflix

Considering all three seasons of Sweet Magnolias have ten episodes, it's safe to assume Sweet Magnolias season 4 will have 10 episodes total. But we'll have to see if Netflix drops them all at one time, or if they do a two-part premiere like they're doing with Bridgerton!

Who's in the Sweet Magnolias cast this year?

Image via Netflix

We'll see JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott, and Heather Headley return as our titular Sweet Magnolias, and I hope we see Logan Allen, Anneliese Judge, Carson Rowland, and Jamie Lynn Spears too!

What is Sweet Magnolias season 4 about?

Image via Netflix

Even though season 3 ended on a high note, showrunner Sheryl J. Anderson promises there will be more drama in the future (which feels true to life — when is there never not drama IRL?).

Sweet Magnolias season 4 will examine "the twists and turns of romance, the complexity of friendship, the surprises that pop up in life," she tells TUDUM, "and how all these things make us more grateful for the people who love us, the people who fight for — and with — us, and the people who can make us laugh, whatever we’re going through.”

“True friendship is a living thing: It has to change and grow as we do," she continues. "And that’s not always easy. But that’s what makes it beautiful.”

If you were anything like me, you spent all of the late 2000s and 2010s talking about whether you'd be a vampire or a werewolf (self-proclaimed vampire here). Twilight and The Vampire Diaries are totally to blame for the craze, and no matter how you feel about all those angsty immortal teens, romantasy fans are in for a treat thanks to the new vampy Kirsten Stewart movie. Here's everything you need to know.

What's the new Kristen Stewart movie?

Kristen Stewart's new movie is called Flesh of the Gods, and like all good things, the movie is set in 1980s Los Angeles. Kristen plays Alex, who's married to Raoul (played by Oscar Isaac). Every night, the wealthy couple swaps their luxury condo for the electricity of LA's nighttime scene. But when they come face-to-face with a mysterious and lively group, Alex and Raoul are swept up in a violent and glamorous world they never knew existed.

“Like Los Angeles itself Flesh of the Gods inhabits the liminal realm between fantasy and nightmare,” producer Gena Konstantinakos told Hollywood Reporter. “Both propulsive and hypnotic, Flesh will take you on a hot rod joy ride deep into the glittering heart of hell.”

When is Flesh of the Gods coming out?

It looks like we could see the movie in 2025. THR reports that the Flesh of the Gods team is hoping to begin filming later this year.

Where are they filming the new Kristen Stewart movie Flesh of the Gods?

Considering Flesh of the Gods takes place in LA, I'm expecting the movie to film on location. I can't wait to see how they take Los Angeles back to the 1980s!

What other Oscar Isaac and Kristen Stewart movies should I watch?

If you're a Kristen Stewart fan then you've probably already seen Twilight, but one of my favorite movies as a kid was Catch That Kid. She most recently starred in Love Lies Bleeding, and Speak and Snow White and the Huntsman are fan favorites too!

Oscar Isaac starred in Marvel'sMoon Knight in 2022, and was recently on Broadway in The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window. He's also had roles in Dune, Scenes from a Marriage, and Ex Machina.
