My favorite thing about this meal is that it’s simple enough for weeknight dinners but it’s elegant enough with big juicy delicious shrimp you can serve it to company with no guilt!

The other added bonus is you can totally customize this meal to whatever you have on hand. I used green beans and potatoes, but you can make it with whatever vegetables you have on hand.

Simple Spice mix for Shrimp

This spice mix is actually an adaptation of my pork seasoning mix. It has paprika, celery salt, sugar, onion powder and mustard powder in it. The only difference is I swapped out lemon peel for lime and gave you an individual measurement versus having a bunch to use on other things like pork ribs, burgers and chicken breasts.

Don’t want to take the time to mix up the spice mix I have in here? Use one you already have on hand like any of the following:

• Creole Seasoning
• Blackening Seasoning
• Spice Rub

Even a bbq spice rub. Seriously, any seasoning will work!

Tips for Making this Sheet Pan Shrimp Recipe Successfully

• Buy Colossal Shrimp or larger. It will be about 16-18 shrimp per pound. Any other size is so small that when baking it in the oven they will dry out.
• Be sure to use raw shrimp, pre-cooked is great for shrimp cocktail but won’t work in this recipe.
• Defrost your shrimp completely so they can cook evenly.
• Use tiny potatoes so they cook in the allotted time. If you get some that are too big, just cut them into smaller pieces!
• The trick to this recipe is to cook in stages. You’ll cook the potatoes for a while, then add the green beans and then finally finish off by adding the shrimp to quickly cook. Doing this cooking in stages makes it so that everything is cooked to perfection— no raw potatoes, mushy green beans or dried out shrimp with this method!
• Looking for a clean-up tip? Line your pan with foil so all you have to do is pull it out and throw it away. The pan cleans up much faster that way!

PRO TIP: When you add the shrimp to the pan, drizzle a little butter over the whole pan to really release all the juices. You’ll want to spoon all that butter over your dinner for added deliciousness!

Other Vegetables you Might want to use

• Asparagus
• Green or Red Peppers
• Broccoli
• Tomatoes (use small grape tomatoes)
• Onions (slice these up to small slivers)
• Mushrooms

Questions you might have when Making Sheet Pan Meals

I forgot to defrost the shrimp, what can I do? This is an easy one. Place the shrimp in a colander and run luke warm water over it.

Then place the colander or strainer in a bowl and fill with luke warm water. Leave it for 10 minutes, then drain water that will be chilled from the defrosting shrimp.

Fill the water up again and leave for another 5-10 minutes. Your shrimp should be defrosted at this point, of not repeat until it does.

Do I have to take the shells off of the shrimp? You don’t have to. I usually remove all of the shells or just leave the tail on for easy removal.

But with or without the shell, the shrimp will be succulent because you are only cooking it for such a short period of time.

What can I serve this shrimp dinner with? Serve the sheetpan shrimp on its own or over rice. If you serve it alone you can have some nice crusty bread with it to sop up the juices.
