Description
A quick and easy one-pan dinner featuring shrimp and vegetables roasted in a rich garlic butter sauce, ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- About 4 cups (600g) mixed vegetables (broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced bell peppers)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Spread in a single layer on a large rimmed sheet pan.
- In a small bowl, melt butter. Stir in minced garlic and let sit for a minute to infuse without browning. Add fresh lemon juice and stir.
- Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 12 minutes until edges start crisping and insides are tender but firm.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Toss shrimp in the garlic butter sauce until coated. Add shrimp evenly on the pan among the vegetables. Pour any remaining sauce over everything.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top, toss gently, and serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure roasting instead of steaming. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Watch shrimp carefully to avoid overcooking. Let butter and garlic sit for a minute to infuse. You can swap veggies as desired. Adding a tablespoon of grated Parmesan after roasting enriches the sauce. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil and add extra garlic.
