Ingredients for sheet pan shrimp
This sheet pan shrimp dinner can be made with a variety of vegetables: but the ones we chose here are quick to cook! The veggies are only baked for 10 minutes before you add the shrimp, so you’ll need to stick with quick cooking vegetables if you plan to get creative. Here are the veggies and seasonings to make this sheet pan meal:
- Cherry tomatoes
- Red onion
- Canned artichoke hearts
- Green beans: the thinner the better! French are great if you can find them

- Shrimp
- Lemon juice
- Feta cheese
- Parsley or dill
Basic concept: dinner on a sheet pan
The basic concept for a shrimp sheet pan dinner? You’ll cook the veggies and protein right on the very same sheet pan. Shrimp cooks very quickly, but the veggies need a bit more time in the oven (though not much!). So you’ll cook the veggies first, then add the shrimp. Here are the basic steps:
- Prep the veggies by mixing them with olive oil and seasonings. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake the veggies for 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Meanwhile, prep the shrimp by mixing it with olive oil and seasonings.
- Add the shrimp to the same sheet pan and bake 6 to 8 minutes, until it’s opaque and cooked through. Easy as that!
Ways to serve this sheet pan shrimp dinner
While the sheet pan shrimp bakes, you’ve got time to make a simple side for serving it. This looks lovely on the plate or bowl when you serve it, and makes the meal more filling. Here are our top picks for making sheet pan shrimp into dinner:
- Orzo: This Lemon Orzo is buttery and cozy, with an almost mac and cheese vibe (our favorite!)
- Couscous: Make a pot of fluffy Easy Couscous in minutes
- Rice: Make simple White Rice, or get fancy and simmer up Mediterranean-style Spinach Rice
- Quinoa: Make basic Quinoa or go for Perfectly Seasoned Quinoa

I’m anxious to try this tomorrow night!
Really good. Simple, fresh, adaptable and easy/fast. I added black pepper (because that’s what I do) and some habanero salsa for a bit of kick once in the bowl— but really delicious. Great 👍🏻
Sounds delicious. I love sheet pan dinners. I need to try with a lot less oil. Prob will cut back on the oil mixed with the shrimp or halve both amounts.
Thanks!
Love this recipe! Easy, delicious and it looks so pretty. I’ve added slivered garlic, peppers and mushrooms, or whatever else might be on hand, to the veggie mix. I also added a dash of red pepper flakes to the shrimp. Easy meal for a diabetic watching carbs.

Hi Sonja!
I tried this with jumbo shrimp of an opened resealable bag i had in my freezer. I took the shrimp I wanted out of the freezer and had it thawing in the fridge overnight and all day. Patted it dry, followed the directions and cooked the shrimp on top veggies for 14 minutes on 400 degrees and it still wasn’t cooked through (was at 120). Am I crazy or am I doing something wrong? I clearly don’t cook shrimp often.
I was growing impatient so I just ate the veggies and couscous which were good!

Sorry! The jumbo shrimp just take a lot longer to cook.
Made this on one sheet pan, with shrimp, salmon and extra vegies. On a second sheet pan, I did cut-up boneless chicken thighs, Kielbasa, potatoes, carrots, broccoli and zucchini. Both came out amazing and we have weeknight dinners already taken care of. To make this even easier, I used the same seasonings on both, then sprinkled a bit of Chicken BBQ Rub over chicken pieces. So-o-o-o good!!!
I have made this and it’s delish. And so easy! I added pieces of kielbasa sausage to the mix as Bridgette Mucha suggested, and wow…what a terrific addition! Because the sausage wasn’t cooked I sliced the sausage pieces about an inch thick and mixed and baked them with the veggies, before adding the shrimp. I didn’t add the artichokes as I didn’t have them on hand, but I will definitely use them next time. And there will be a next time!

Very good. Used fresh dill on top. Son and husband wanted some hot spice added, like some cayenne or a hot spice blend. Not too much, just more zip. But good even as is. I may slice some kalamata olives next time if people want to sprinkle some on. Served with lemon Israeli couscous with parsley.l and multigrain sourdough toast. Will serve to guests next month.
