Roasted Shrimp, Tomatoes and Broccoli

Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined*
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes
  • 2-3 garlic cloves finely minced
  • 1 Tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
  • 1-2 Tablespoons fresh parsley minced
  • 1 head broccoli cut into florets (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes or to taste
  • 2 lemons both juice and zest
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set out 2 baking sheets (or 1 if making half recipe)
  • In a large bowl, season grape tomatoes to taste with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil and mix together. Place on baking sheet.
  • In the same mixing bowl, add broccoli florets with zest of 1 lemon, juice of 1/2 a lemon, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle olive oil over broccoli and toss together. Spread over second baking sheet.
  • In the same mixing bowl, add shrimp, garlic, parsley, zest of 1 lemon, parmesan cheese and lightly salt and pepper. (You can use a normal amount of pepper but recommend less salt than normal since parmesan cheese is salty). Drizzle with olive oil and toss together. Add to baking sheet with tomatoes and evenly spread out shrimp.
  • Slice remaining half of lemon and place slices on baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until shrimp are pink and curled and veggies are crisp/tender.
  • Squeeze warm lemon slices over everything and serve immediately.

Notes

* Depending on the size of your shrimp, you may need to adjust the cooking time for it. I used large shrimp (21-24 pieces per pound) and they needed 10 minutes. My veggies needed 12 minutes. So while I mixed the shrimp with its seasonings, I put the other veggies in the oven, then added the shrimp.
If you use smaller-sized shrimp, you will need to further adjust the cooking time. I would start the veggies first, then add the shrimp at the appropriate time. Medium shrimp with need approximately 8 minutes and small shrimp around 6 minutes. They are done when they are pink and curled.
