If you’re looking for a fast, flavorful, and effortless meal, sheet pan shrimp is your new go-to. This recipe is as simple as it is delicious, featuring tender shrimp roasted with garlic, lemon, and fresh herbs, all on one pan for minimal cleanup. It’s the perfect dish for busy weeknights, but impressive enough to serve at a dinner party or as an appetizer.
The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity. Start by seasoning fresh shrimp with olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a generous sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or oregano to give the shrimp that herby, aromatic punch. The garlic and lemon add brightness, while the shrimp soak up all those flavors as they cook, turning sweet and succulent.
Once seasoned, spread the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet. You can also add some vegetables like asparagus, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes to the pan, which roast alongside the shrimp and absorb the same wonderful flavors. Pop the sheet pan into a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and just cooked through.
The result is a dish that’s packed with flavor and takes almost no time to prepare. Serve your sheet pan shrimp over a bed of rice, quinoa, or even a simple salad for a light but satisfying meal. You can also toss it into pasta or serve it with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
For an extra touch, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp just before serving, and sprinkle a little extra fresh herbs for garnish. This sheet pan shrimp recipe is not only delicious but also incredibly versatile, you can switch up the seasonings and vegetables based on what you have on hand. Whether for dinner or a party, it’s a simple and flavorful dish everyone will love.

Y’all, I think 425°F is too high? Shouldn’t it be lower for shrimp? Anyway, mine was ok but not spectacular.
This dish was a hit! The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the veggies were so fresh. Will definitely make again!
So glad to hear it was a hit! Definitely going to try this recipe myself! 🍤❤️
I don’t like paprika, so I left it out. Still turned out good. Maybe you can add soy sauce instead? Just a thought.
That’s a great idea! Soy sauce will give it a nice salty flavor. I might try that next time.
Simple and delicious. Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely! Quick meals like this are lifesavers. Glad you enjoyed it!
Why do you put garlic in shrimp? That’s just weird. 🤷♂️
Soo good! I added some extra lemon and it was zesty! Will make again!
Sounds delicious! I’m glad you enjoyed it! What kind of side did you serve with it?
My family loved it! Easy to make and clean up was a breeze. Would recommend to anyone!
Glad to hear it! This recipe is a real game changer for busy weeknights. 😊
Love shrimp! Forever shrimp lover! This recipe is solid.
Shrimp? Never liked it. Swapped for chicken and came out pretty good. Still, not a shrimp recipe fan.
Not bad, but my shrimp were a bit overcooked. 🤷♂️ I’ll try again with 10 minutes next time.
This was great! The shrimp were juicy and the veggies were crisp. My kids loved it too!
I hate shrimp, but my boyfriend loves them, so I made this for him. He loved it, but I just ate the veggies, lol.
This was amazing! The shrimp were so juicy and the veggies perfectly roasted. Definitely making this again!
Great recipe. Made it for the fam and everyone went back for seconds! 🍤🥦
Not bad but a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more spices. Maybe add some chili flakes next time.
5 stars! 💖💖💖
Yesss, this is my favorite combination! 🍤🥦 I always add more garlic though, it’s the best!
Seems too simple. Can it really taste good? 🤔
Eh…didn’t my family really care for it. They said too many veggies. 😕
Kinda bland for my taste. I added some chili flakes and that helped a bit, but would not make it as is again.
I totally get what you mean! I find it pretty basic too. Maybe add some lemon zest next time? That might give it a zing!
This recipe was so easy and the shrimp was cooked perfectly! Will definitely make again.
I tried this recipe too! It was super delicious, my family loved it! 🦐🍋
I substituted the shrimp with tofu and it was pretty good! Just gotta cook a bit longer.
I dunno, it was good but my shrimp turned out kinda rubbery. Did I overcook it or somethin?
Easy and clean up was a breeze! Perfect for busy weeknights.
wow wow wow! The lemon adds such a fresh taste. Who knew shrimp could taste this good???
Good stuff although my we ran out of lemon, used lime instead and it turned out fine! 👍
Yummy! But why is the oven so high? I usually cook shrimp at 350F. Weird.
I think the higher temp helps to get that nice char on the shrimp and veggies! But yeah, if you’re used to 350F, it might seem odd. Just trust the process! 😊
I dunno, cooking shrimp at a high temp is dangerous. Isn’t 350F safer? Just makes more sense to me. 🤔
Not bad, but I feel like it needs more seasoning. Maybe some chili flakes next time? 🤔
I totally agree, some chili flakes would kick it up a notch! But for me, the lemon did a good job of balancing the flavors.
More seasoning? Really? I thought it was pretty flavorful already. Maybe you just got a bland batch of shrimp?
I didn’t have asparagus, so I used broccoli instead. Still turned out yummy! 😋
I followed the recipe, but my shrimp turned out rubbery. I must’ve cooked them too long…ugh.
Don’t worry, it happens! Try reducing the bake time next time. Shrimp cook super quick!
My kids loved it! I didn’t know shrimp could taste this good. Cooking with lemon is magic! 🍋
So simple and fast! My kids loved it even though they usually hate veggies. Thanks!
I don’t think this is a real recipe. Who puts lemon on shrimp? Sounds weird…
