Description
A quick and delicious Sheet Pan Shrimp and Potatoes recipe that combines tender shrimp, roasted baby potatoes, and broccoli, all baked together with garlic butter for a flavorful and easy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Seafood
- 0.75 lbs large shrimp
Vegetables
- 1.5 lbs Boomer Gold Little Potatoes, quartered
- 280 grams chopped broccoli (about 1 large head of broccoli)
Seasonings and Others
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 small lemon, juiced (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for roasting the ingredients evenly.
- Toss Vegetables: In a large baking tray, combine the quartered potatoes and chopped broccoli with melted butter and minced garlic. Sprinkle them with sea salt and ground black pepper for seasoning. You may use two baking sheets if you want to keep potatoes and broccoli spaced for better roasting.
- Bake Potatoes and Broccoli: Place the tray(s) in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes start to soften and can be easily pierced with a fork, ensuring they are partially cooked before adding the shrimp.
- Add Shrimp and Continue Baking: Remove the tray from the oven and add the shrimp. Toss the shrimp with the potatoes and broccoli to coat evenly with the garlic butter and seasonings. Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and firm, signaling it is fully cooked.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately. Optionally, drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for an added burst of flavor and freshness.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcook shrimp to keep it tender and juicy.
- You can substitute broccoli with other vegetables like asparagus or green beans.
- Use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding, which helps achieve better roasting results.
- Lemon juice and parsley are optional but add a refreshing contrast to the dish.
- If fresh garlic is not available, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder can be used as a substitute.
