    How will the shrimp with vegetables make your life easier?

    Nothing is better than a meal that you can toss together, dump onto a sheet pan and let your oven do the work. This shrimp and vegetable sheet pan dinner is exactly that. Easy prep, quick cooking, and even easier clean-up.

    If you'd like to make something else on a sheet pan (or just one pot/pan dinners), try these sheet pan roasted veggies (throw a chicken breast or sausage on there to make it a full meal), sheet pan maple mustard salmon, chicken bacon sheet pan dinner, or this parchment packet salmon.

    Swap the veggies for what you have on hand. Use any veggie that will roast well (like zucchini, carrots, cabbage, etc)

    What makes this dish so good?

    • Broccoli, cauliflower (or other vegetable)
    • Lemon
    • Shrimp
    • Parmesan cheese

    How do I make shrimp with vegetables on a sheet pan?

    cauliflower and broccoli on a sheet pan

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add 2 c vegetables to lined or sprayed baking sheet, 1 T olive oil, pinch of each-salt and pepper. Mix together with a spatula or your hand. Spread out into an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. 

    Expert Tip: Swap the broccoli/cauliflower for whatever veggies you have on hand. Use carrots, zucchini, eggplant, onions, cabbage, etc.

    raw shrimp in a glass bowl

    While vegetables are cooking, defrost 8 medium shrimp by placing them in a medium bowl, cover them with warm water. Check often, and replace water if needed. They should be thawed in the 15 minutes it'll take to bake the vegetables.

    cauliflower, broccoli, lemon wedges, and shrimp on a sheet pan

    Take baking sheet out of oven, stir vegetables. Add shrimp, 2 lemon halves (cut side down). Grate ~1 T parmesan cheese evenly over shrimp and vegetables. Bake for another 3-5 minutes, until shrimp are just pink. Remove from oven.

    Expert Tip: shrimp cook quickly, keep an eye on them.

    • Shrimp cook quickly, keep an eye on them.

    FAQ

    What vegetables go good with seafood?

    Any vegetable will be great with seafood. Especially crunchy vegetables because seafood is usually really soft and buttery in texture.

    What goes good with shrimp?

    Lots of sides go great with shrimp. Pasta is good with shrimp, it's good in a salad, mashed potatoes, roasted or grilled vegetables, etc.

    How can I repurpose the shrimp & veggies?

    • Serve over rice, bulgur, or another grain
    • Serve over a bed of lettuce for a quick & easy lunch
    • Roast an extra lemon to turn this into shrimp scampi. The roasted vegetables and sweet lemon flavor will be delicious with some butter and pasta. Sautee fresh shrimp for this because reheated fish is just not as good as fresh, and the smell.... sometimes it's terrible.

    What can I make with leftover ingredients?

    • (shrimp) Cajun Shrimp Packet
    • (broccoli, cauliflower) Beef & Broccoli, Chicken & Broccoli, Broccoli Salad with Bacon
    • (lemon) Lemony Pasta Carbonara, Pan Seared Salmon w/ Summer Salad, & Warm Kale Salad.

      My family can always use more quick & easy sheet pan recipes, and this one looks like a delicious and fast one to make! I especially like that you roasted the lemons for additional depth of flavor.

      Thank you for this easy one-gal dinner! Hubby is out of town and I didn’t want to eat out or shell out the money to order delivery! Healthy, yummy, easy cleanup. 🙂
