Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Marinade
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 cloves garlic, grated
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables
2 yellow onions, peeled and cut into wedges
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
2 red bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, thinly sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat and prepare marinade: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, grated garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley. Season this mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Roast vegetables: On a rimmed half sheet pan, combine the yellow onion wedges, broccoli florets, and thinly sliced red bell peppers. Drizzle the vegetables with a small amount of olive oil and season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spread the vegetables out in a single even layer to ensure proper roasting. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 20 minutes to develop a tender, caramelized texture.
Add shrimp and finish roasting: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and pour the marinated shrimp along with the marinade over the roasted vegetables. Toss everything together gently to combine and spread the mixture back into a single layer. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and lightly toasted. Remove from oven and garnish with extra fresh parsley before serving immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Make sure not to overcrowd the sheet pan to ensure even roasting of shrimp and vegetables.
For a spicier dish, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes according to your preference.
Feel free to swap vegetables based on seasonal availability, such as zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or asparagus.
This recipe can be doubled easily by using two sheet pans or roasting in batches.
Serve with crusty bread, rice, or quinoa for a complete meal.
