Flavorful and super quick. With tender garlic shrimp and a rainbow of oven-roasted veggies tossed in Italian herbs, this is a breezy dinner or meal prep you'll love to cook and to eat.
Ingredients
2cupsbroccoli floretschopped into bite-sized pieces
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the chopped broccoli, zucchini, onion, and pepper in a large bowl. Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few cracks of pepper. Toss to coat, then spread veggies in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes.
While the veggies start roasting, add shrimp and tomatoes to the same bowl you used for the veggies. Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few more cracks of black pepper. Toss well.
After the veggies have been in for at least 12 minutes, take out the pan and add the shrimp and tomatoes. Use a spatula to mix everything and return it to one even layer as best you can. Return to the oven and roast for another 5-7 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through and the veggies are tender.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and chopped parsley, rosemary, or other herbs as desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
The amounts of veggies listed here are suggestions to get you started--there's no need to be super precise.
You can also use any size shrimp that you have or like. Just keep in mind that larger shrimp will take longer to cook.
If you prefer your tomatoes to be extra tender and almost saucy, you can add them in during the first step with the other veggies so they roast longer. This is actually the way this recipe is photographed, but I've since decided I prefer them with the shorter roasting time.
