Print Recipe

A quick, healthy, and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired sheet pan dinner featuring shrimp and colorful vegetables roasted to perfection with herbs and a tangy feta finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add shrimp and toss gently to coat. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives evenly on the sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss lightly to coat.
  4. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan and nestle the marinated shrimp evenly among the vegetables. Spread out shrimp for even cooking.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 8–10 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque and vegetables are nicely roasted.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the hot pan. Scatter fresh parsley on top.
  8. Let the sheet pan rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Use fresh shrimp if possible and thaw frozen shrimp thoroughly. Watch cooking times carefully to avoid rubbery shrimp. For dairy-free, omit feta or use vegan cheese. For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeño to the marinade. Cherry tomatoes may burst; gently shake pan halfway through cooking to redistribute juices.
