Sheet Pan Shrimp Scampi and Broccoli
Description
This recipe features large shrimp coated with melted butter and minced garlic, roasted alongside broccoli spears seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. The broccoli's roasting time allows it to develop slight caramelization and a tender texture while the shrimp turns pink and opaque from gentle oven cooking.
The shrimp and broccoli are arranged on opposite halves of a sheet pan, enabling both to cook simultaneously yet retain their textures. A fresh lemon squeeze brightens the flavors before serving. Parmesan cheese adds a mild, nutty taste complementing both protein and vegetable components.
The method is straightforward, involving roasting at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Adjustments such as substituting vegetables or adding crushed red pepper flakes for heat allow some customization. Adding extra lemon juice or sprinkling Parmesan before the final bake can enhance brightness and cheesiness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and de-veined, tails on or off, your preference, large
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Dump broccoli onto half of a large, rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with oil toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer (still on one half of the pan) and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- While broccoli is cooking, prepare the shrimp. Toss shrimp with the melted butter and garlic.
- Arrange shrimp, in a single layer, on the unused half of the sheet pan. Return to oven for 5-6 minutes until shrimp is pink.
- Squeeze fresh lemon over the shrimp, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve.
Notes
- Substitute broccoli with cauliflower or Brussels sprouts for variety.
- Add ½ to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes to introduce spiciness.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the finished dish to brighten flavors.
- For extra cheesiness, sprinkle about ⅓ cup grated Parmesan on shrimp and vegetables before the final oven time.
