The Ingredients

Ingredients for sheet pan shrimp and vegetable dinner.Pin
  • Large or Jumbo Shrimp: I like to buy frozen raw shrimp from the freezer section so I always have some ready for quick weeknight dinners. They thaw super quickly! Look for peeled and deveined shrimp for convenience.
  • Fresh Vegetables: A colorful mix of bell pepper, broccoli florets, zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion. These roast beautifully and add texture, nutrition, and flavor to the dish.
  • Fresh Garlic: Chopped garlic adds bold, savory flavor that pairs beautifully with lemon and seafood.
  • Lemon (zested and juiced): Fresh lemon brightens the dish and adds tons of delicious citrusy flavor.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil – A staple for sheet pan dinners! It helps everything roast up golden and adds heart-healthy fats.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this dish is how flexible it is. Here are a few easy swaps and additions to make it your own:

  • Veggie swap: Use green beans, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, or snap peas for quicker cooking options.
  • Spice it up: For even more flavor sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon cumin, seafood spice, Italian herbs or other favorite seasoning. Add crushed red pepper flakes, Cajun seasoning, or smoked paprika for a little heat.
  • Protein twist: Try sliced chicken sausage, cubed salmon, or tofu if you’re not in a shrimp mood.
  • Grain base: Serve over perfect brown rice (or Brown Rice Cakes for a mess free option!), quinoa, or couscous to turn it into a full meal prep bowl.

Step 4: Bake for 15 minutes or until vegetables are fork tender. If you prefer shrimp and vegetables to be a bit more golden, place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.

Recipe Note

If using small or medium shrimp, roast the vegetables for 8–10 minutes first, then add the shrimp and roast for another 5–7 minutes. With large or jumbo shrimp, you can roast everything together for about 15 minutes (as instructed), but if you prefer softer veggies or are worried about avoid overcooking the shrimp, feel free to give the vegetables a head start.

Tips and Tricks

  • Don’t crowd the pan: give everything a little space so the veggies roast instead of steam.
  • Use large or jumbo shrimp for better texture and to avoid overcooking.
  • Make it ahead by prepping the shrimp and veggies the night before so it’s oven-ready when you need it.
  • Leftovers? Store them in the fridge and reheat gently at 300°F to keep the shrimp tender.

FAQs

Can I make this shrimp and veggie sheet pan ahead of time?

Yes! You can prep the shrimp and veggies in advance and store them separately in the fridge. When you’re ready, just assemble on the pan and roast.

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Absolutely. Just make sure they’re thawed and patted dry before roasting.

How do I thaw frozen shrimp quickly?

Place frozen shrimp in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them sit for about 10–15 minutes, stirring once or twice to break up any clumps. Once thawed, drain and pat dry with paper towels before cooking.

How do I store leftover shrimp?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or a skillet to avoid rubbery shrimp.
