Easy sheet pan baked shrimp and veggies, prepared Mediterranean style! 25 minutes start-to-finish!
This is probably not a very cool thing to admit, especially for a food blogger, but here it goes…I don’t like to sweat very much in the kitchen.
I’m all for fantastically easy recipes. And, you probably know this by now, I’m very much a one-pot, one-skillet, or one-pan kinda gal.
Enter my newest attempt to avoid working too hard in the kitchen: Mediterranean sheet pan baked shrimp and veggies.
Take your trusted sheet pan, and throw in some veggies (in my case, a bundle of asparagus that was begging to be used, along with some cherry tomatoes and onions), plus a pound of shrimp. Dress them with an awesome sauce. And bake!
Now, the kicker is in the secret sauce. A combination of my favorite Greek extra virgin olive oil, with white wine vinegar, and a couple of spices. Ah, but, since I’ve been on a fresh ginger kick at home lately, I decided a spoonful of freshly grated ginger will do the sauce some good. And it sure did!
What else to serve with the baked shrimp & veggies?
This baked shrimp dinner comes together in minutes. If you like, add your favorite cooked grains on the side. I often do this Lebanese rice. Need more sauce on top? Drizzle a little tahini.

Of course this is another fantastic dinner . Thank you, Suzy. You have introduced me to some new spices. Sumac and mixed.spices that I’d never thought of. Love your recipes and the incredible flavor they bring to the table. Not to mention all the healthy vegetables, legumes, grains and ample olive oil. Yum.
Awww! Love this, Marlene! Thank you!
This recipe didn’t work for me. The veggies are about the same as uncooked, raw vegetables. I’m forced to cook them all over again without the shrimp, which, by the way, was perfect.
