Sheet Pan Shrimp – Unique Highlights

  • Quick and easy one-pan dinner ready in under 30 minutes.
  • Loaded with fresh veggies and zesty flavors that’s perfect for spring.
  • Healthy, low in carbs, and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon

How to Make

To create this delicious Sheet Pan Shrimp dish, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Begin by placing the shrimp, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the top, and sprinkle in the minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over everything for that added zing!

Toss all the ingredients together to ensure they’re well coated, then spread them out evenly on the pan in a single layer. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, and the veggies are tender yet crisp. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Tips

  • For added flavor, marinate the shrimp in lemon juice and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Feel free to swap the vegetables according to your seasonal preferences.
  • Use a baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

Make-Ahead

This meal can be prepped ahead of time! Simply chop the vegetables and marinate the shrimp a day in advance. Store them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.

Storing

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just be cautious not to prolonged storage for quality.

Freezing

If you wish to freeze, it’s best to freeze the shrimp and vegetables separately after preparation, as cooked shrimp can become rubbery when frozen. Freeze uncooked shrimp in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

Reheating

To reheat, simply warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes, ensuring they’re heated through but not overcooked.

Serving Suggestions

This sheet pan shrimp pairs wonderfully with quinoa, brown rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal. For those who want a hint of zest, a dollop of avocado sauce can complement the dish beautifully!
