Shrimp
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
½ tsp paprika
¾ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper (optional)

Easy Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easier cleanup.
Step 2: Prep the Veggies
Spread the zucchini, bell pepper, tomatoes, red onion, and broccoli evenly across the sheet pan.
Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Toss gently so everything is coated.
Step 3: Roast the Vegetables
Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the vegetables for 8 minutes.
This gives them a head start so they come out perfectly tender.
Step 4: Season the Shrimp
While the vegetables roast, add the shrimp to a bowl and toss with:
remaining olive oil
minced garlic
oregano
parsley
paprika
salt and pepper
lemon juice
Make sure the shrimp are evenly coated.
Step 5: Add Shrimp to the Pan
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and spread the shrimp evenly among the vegetables.
Return the pan to the oven and cook for 5–7 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Be careful not to overcook them — shrimp cook quickly!
Step 6: Finish and Serve
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon.
Serve immediately.
