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.

Is it okay to add calamari or squid to this recipe? Your advice will be appreciated. Bob.
Sure! Just make sure the pieces of squid and calamari are roughly the same size as the shrimp so everything cooks evenly.
This recipe was so yummy! I did double the sauce and glad I did.
This recipe is incredibly easy to make with an outstanding result. Next time I will serve it with homemade pita bread (first recipe under Bread).
Dear Suzy,
This is a terrific recipe – delicious, colorful and not difficult to make. The marinade is just delicious.
It is wonderful how sweet the onions get when they are roasted in the oven. I used less shrimp because we are not big meat eaters. It would even be good with only the marinated vegetables. Also I used half of a giant white onion, the other half purple onion.
This recipe gets a gold star in my book!

Thank you so much, George!
Have made many times. Fantastic and easy!
Such a wonderful dish, my husband loves it and so do I. This is the second time I have made this and it won’t be the last!
Easy – fast – delicious – once again a hit -Thank You Suzy
Very good. We were able to find sumac at bulk barn. Very tasty! Not a fan of asparagus or it’s after affects! Filled the veggie requirement with some broccoli’s, mushrooms and bell peppers. Served over brown rice and with salad. Definitely will make this again! We just started following the Mediterranean ‘diet’ on your site and have greatly enjoyed every recipe. Thank you!
I made this! It’s my 2 nd Mediterranean dish I have made for my new Mediterranean diet lifestyle. So honestly this is better than all the unhealthy crap I’ve made in years. Thank you for the recipe!!💚⭐️🙏🥳
Could I substitute salmon for the shrimp? Wonder if your marinade would compliment salmon? Thanks!
I am a regular on your site and this recipe doesn’t disappoint either. I used peppers and zucchini because that was what I had and it was absolutely delicious. The sauce is everything!
Thank you so much, Bettina!
Delicious! Our first dip of our toes into Mediterranean meals. We will definitely be making this again.
This was a great on to start with! So glad you enjoyed it!
Yummy! Easy! Colorful! Video great! Followed all directions exactly as written. Cooking times perfect. Served over quinoa.
Thank you, Alice!
This was really delicious! I had a night when I didn’t know what to make for dinner, but this recipe included everything I had in my refrigerator and shrimp in the freezer. I didn’t have any sumac (or know what it was), but substituted some lemon zest. I also threw on some slices of zucchini. Delicious outcome! Thank you for great recipes.
Yay! this is definitely a great “clean out the fridge/freezer” meal :). If your interested, we do sell Sumac on our online shop: https://shop.themediterraneandish.com/product/sumac/
I love, Love, LOVE this recipe. Have made it several times and served to dinner guests who have loved it, too.
The nicest surprise is that the red onions are almost ‘candied’ so doubled those after making the first time. And you’re right about the asparagus – they are perfect in the mixture of flavors, Suzy. You’re brilliant!
Awww!Thanks, Jackie!
I haven’t made this recipe yet as my friend from Seattle just made it last night & HIGHLY recommended it.
Re: Sumac- U MUST put it on your list of spices- so delish …. sprinkle on Labne or plain Greek yogurt & drizzle EVOO on it & serve w/ pitas.
Also, get Za’atar, otherwise known as Mediterranean Crack as it’s SOooo addictive!
Thanks for sharing, Lynn! We are big fans of Sumac and Za’atar as well! Have you checked out our shop for all-natural sumac and za’atar? https://shop.themediterraneandish.com/
