  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Shrimp and Vegetables

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half

Seasonings and Toppings

  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a large rimmed sheet pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange shrimp and tomatoes: Scatter the peeled and deveined shrimp and halved cherry tomatoes evenly across the sheet pan.
  3. Add garlic and seasonings: Sprinkle the finely minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, coarse salt, smoked paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes evenly over the shrimp and tomatoes.
  4. Drizzle melted butter: Pour the melted unsalted butter evenly over the entire mixture to ensure a rich, moist flavor.
  5. Toss to coat and layer: Gently toss everything together until the shrimp and tomatoes are well coated with the butter and seasonings, then rearrange them into a single even layer for uniform cooking.
  6. Add Parmesan cheese: Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top of the shrimp and vegetables.
  7. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink, firm, and are completely cooked through.
  8. Garnish and serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the dish to add a bright finish.

Notes

  • For best results, use large shrimp that are peeled and deveined to ensure even cooking and easy eating.
  • You can adjust the red pepper flakes quantity to control the spice level to your preference.
  • This recipe is versatile and can be served on its own for a low-carb option, with crostini as an appetizer, or over pasta for a more filling meal.
  • Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to avoid rubbery texture; they cook quickly and are best when just done.
