Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (454 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables:
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 bell pepper, diced (red, yellow, or orange)
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
Seasonings and Extras:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious baking sheet by lining with parchment paper or lightly coating with olive oil, then heat the oven to a precise 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini across the baking sheet, drizzling with olive oil and sprinkling half the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Thoroughly mix to ensure even coating.
- Allow vegetables to roast for 10 minutes, developing a tender texture and releasing their natural flavors.
- Meanwhile, combine shrimp with remaining olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes in a mixing bowl, ensuring each piece is well-seasoned.
- Extract the partially roasted vegetables from the oven and distribute the seasoned shrimp evenly across the surface.
- Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the entire dish, creating a uniform layer.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven, cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes until shrimp turn pink and translucent, and the cheese melts into a golden, bubbling crust.
- Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately while hot and aromatic.
Notes
- Always use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture in this quick one-pan meal.
- Pat shrimp dry before seasoning to ensure they roast perfectly and develop a nice golden color instead of steaming.
- Customize vegetable mix based on seasonal availability or personal preferences, keeping similar cooking times in mind.
- For a low-carb version, replace bell peppers with low-carb alternatives like cauliflower or asparagus to reduce overall carbohydrate content.
