Basic concept: dinner on a sheet pan
The basic concept for a shrimp sheet pan dinner? You’ll cook the veggies and protein right on the very same sheet pan. Shrimp cooks very quickly, but the veggies need a bit more time in the oven (though not much!). So you’ll cook the veggies first, then add the shrimp. Here are the basic steps:
- Prep the veggies by mixing them with olive oil and seasonings. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake the veggies for 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Meanwhile, prep the shrimp by mixing it with olive oil and seasonings.
- Add the shrimp to the same sheet pan and bake 6 to 8 minutes, until it’s opaque and cooked through. Easy as that!
