Shrimp Scampi Sheet Pan Meal is a fast, flavorful seafood dinner made with garlicky butter shrimp roasted on a single pan. Bright with lemon and herbs, it’s a simple, elegant meal perfect for weeknights or entertaining.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 zucchini or 1 bunch asparagus, chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional for serving: cooked pasta, rice, or crusty bread

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, melted butter, garlic, lemon juice and zest, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Add the shrimp and optional vegetables to the bowl and toss to coat well.
  4. Spread everything in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
  5. Roast for 10–12 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque and vegetables are tender.
  6. Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes for light browning.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  8. Serve hot over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Use raw shrimp for best texture—pre-cooked shrimp may become rubbery.
  • Do not overcook shrimp; they’re done when pink and opaque.
  • Lemon is key to scampi flavor—fresh juice and zest are recommended.
  • You can prep ingredients ahead but cook just before serving.
  • Double the recipe using two pans to prevent overcrowding.
