Description
A quick and flavorful sheet pan dinner featuring tender shrimp, crispy Yukon Gold potatoes, garlic, and lemon. Perfect for busy weeknights, with minimal cleanup and simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 lemon, half sliced and half juiced
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Optional: 1 cup thin asparagus spears or broccoli florets
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Place cubed potatoes on the pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with half of the salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat and spread in a single layer.
- Roast potatoes for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.
- While potatoes cook, toss shrimp in a bowl with remaining olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and remaining salt and pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Add shrimp and lemon slices, and vegetables if using. Spread evenly on the pan.
- Return to oven and bake for 6–8 minutes, until shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Thaw and pat dry frozen shrimp before use to avoid excess moisture.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment for easier cleanup, or roast directly for crisper potatoes.
- Finish with extra lemon juice or melted butter for added richness.
- Add quick-cooking vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for more color and flavor.
