Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound large shrimp
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup zucchini
- 1 cup bell peppers
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Seasonings and Flavoring:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Finishing Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Heat your oven to precisely 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon paprika, and ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning in a mixing bowl.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables across the sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for exactly 12-15 minutes until they start to caramelize and become tender.
- While vegetables roast, toss 1 pound peeled shrimp with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a separate bowl.
- Remove the pan from the oven and arrange the seasoned shrimp among the roasted vegetables, creating an even distribution.
- Sprinkle ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese uniformly over the entire pan, ensuring good coverage.
- Return the pan to the 400°F oven for precisely 8-10 minutes, watching until shrimp turn completely pink and cheese melts slightly.
- Pull the pan from the oven and garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- Choose medium-sized shrimp for the most consistent cooking and best texture.
- If using frozen shrimp, completely thaw and pat dry before seasoning to prevent excess moisture.
- Arrange vegetables in a single layer on the sheet pan to ensure even roasting and prevent steaming.
- For a low-carb version, replace higher-carb veggies like tomatoes with cauliflower or more zucchini.
