HOW TO MAKE THEM

1) Prep a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper.  Using a cutting board, slice up the peppers and onions.  Place them in a mixing bowl, add all the seasonings, and toss together.  Pour onto the lined sheet pan.

2)To prep the shrimp and scallops, follow the instructions on the bag.  I prefer to keep them frozen until right before use. So using a colander I run them under cool water until thawed.  Pat dry with a paper towel. Add to the sheet pan and spread them evenly out.

3)Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until peppers have started to soften.  Remove from oven and serve.

HOW TO SERVE:

1)In a corn shell.  Crisp up a corn shell in a small skillet with a small amount of avocado oil.  For a little twist to the corn shell fajita, add a squeeze of fresh lime while the corn shell is crisping up.

2)Whole30 option: Create a fajita salad with romaine lettuce chopped up as the base of the salad.  Next, add the cooked peppers, onions, shrimp, and scallops. Add a squeeze of lime juice on top.

3)Add cooked cauliflower-rice to a plate, add the peppers, shrimp, onions, and scallops to the plate and enjoy!
