When I’m looking for a quick, healthy, and flavorful dinner, this simple roasted shrimp and broccoli recipe is one of my go-tos! It is an easy, tasty alternative to stir-frying and perfect for a busy weeknight.

The tender broccoli florets pair beautifully with juicy, garlicky shrimp, creating a meal that’s light but still satisfying. A touch of lemon zest and juice brightens everything up, and if I have an open bottle of white wine, I’ll add a splash for a little extra depth.

With pantry staples like olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper, it is easy to pull together any night of the week. I love serving it with extra lemon wedges for a burst of fresh citrus flavor.

Sheet Pan Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli

I am a big fan of dinners that bake in the oven. They are easier, less stressful, and way less messy than most stovetop dishes. And let’s be honest—I am all about keeping things simple in the kitchen.

This recipe is very loosely inspired by a roasted shrimp and broccoli dish from Melissa Clark that caught my eye recently. I loved the idea of a roasted, one-pan dinner, but her version called for whole cumin and coriander seeds—spices I don’t typically keep in my pared-down spice cabinet.

Instead, I opted for ingredients we love and always have on hand: lemon and garlic. Simple, bright, and packed with flavor.

I also think this would be delicious with an Asian twist. Swap in some soy sauce and fresh ginger, and garnish with sesame seeds for an easy, flavorful variation.

Ingredients

  • Broccoli, cut into bite-size florets – I love the big bags of broccoli florets often available at Costco. You could also use frozen broccoli here.
  • Minced garlic – Jarred is fine if you are not in the mood to chop. I also sometimes substitute the roasted garlic granules from Penzeys. Granulated garlic or garlic powder would be fine in a pinch. About 1/2 teaspoon should be plenty.
  • Extra virgin olive oil (affiliate link), divided – Or your preferred oil for roasting.
  • Kosher salt, divided – I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt which is flakier and less salty. If you are using a different kind of salt you will want to use less to avoid excessive saltiness.
  • Ground black pepper – I used 1/4 teaspoon. Use more or less to suit your tastes. I think Lemon pepper would also work well here.
  • Large shrimp, shelled and deveined, defrosted if frozen – A staple in my freezer for quick and easy meals. I love the easy peel variety that are already deveined.
  • Zest from 1 large lemon – I love my microplane grater for zesting lemons. It works like magic.
  • White wine, optional – If I have an open bottle of wine in the fridge I add a splash, if not I just skip it.
  • Fresh squeezed lemon juice – Much better than bottled or the plastic squeeze lemon juice in this recipe, but use what you have.
  • Lemon wedges for serving, if desired – I love the brightness of extra lemon. You could also roast the wedges along with the shrimp if you like.

Recipe Notes

We enjoyed this simple roasted shrimp and broccoli dish for dinner last night and decided it was so easy and delicious it should make a regular appearance in our dinner rotation.

Since the broccoli takes longer to cook, you want to give it a 15-minute head start before adding the shrimp to the pan.

I would use this roasted shrimp and recipe with the Weight Watchers Simply Filling Technique too.

Recipe Variations

No shrimp? – Shrimp-size chunks of chicken or pork tenderloin would work well.

Different veg – Asparagus, cauliflower, carrots, brussels sprouts, green beans, zucchini, etc. would be great, as would a combination of your favorite vegetables.

Different spices and seasonings – Use what you like – basil, thyme, rosemary, garlic, ginger, cumin, Old Bay seasoning, lemon pepper, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, soy sauce, dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, etc. Here are a few ideas:

  • Mediterranean – Season with dried oregano, thyme, or rosemary. Finish with crumbled feta and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
  • Spicy Cajun – Season with Cajun or Creole seasoning.
  • Asian-Inspired – Add soy sauce, fresh grated ginger, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Finish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  • Garlic Parmesan – Toss the broccoli and shrimp with garlic powder and grated Parmesan before roasting. Finish with more Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon.
  • Smoky Paprika – Season with smoked paprika, chili powder, and a dash of cumin. Finish with a little fresh lime juice for brightness.
  • Indian-Inspired – use turmeric, cumin, and a pinch of garam masala (affiliate link). Finish with a dollop of plain yogurt or a squeeze of lime.

Ingredients 

  • 2 pounds broccoli, cut into bite-size florets
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (jarred is fine)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (affiliate link), divided
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined, defrosted if frozen
  • Zest from 1 large lemon
  • 1 tablespoon white wine, optional
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Lemon wedges for serving, if desired

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil, to make cleanup easier.
  • Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of the stalk attached to the florets. Either discard the rest of the stalks or do what I do – cut and discard about 1/2-inch off the bottom end and the portion from the top with all the little branches extending out. Peel the remaining stalk and cut it into 1 inch pieces.
  • Place the broccoli on the sheet pan. Sprinkle the garlic over the broccoli and then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Massage and toss it all together and then spread the broccoli out on the baking sheet (affiliate link) so it is distributed in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • While the broccoli is roasting, place the shrimp in a small bowl (affiliate link). Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon zest, wine (if desired), 1/2 teaspoon salt and sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper. Stir the mixture around and let the shrimp marinate until it’s time to add them to the pan.
  • Once the broccoli has roasted for 15 minutes, add the shrimp to the baking pan and toss them in with the broccoli, distributing them around the pan. Roast until the shrimp are just opaque and the broccoli is tender and browned on some of the tips, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and toss with the lemon juice. Serve immediately, along with extra lemon wedges, if desired.

    1. Hi Trudi, I’ve never tried this recipe with frozen cooked shrimp but I wouldn’t suggest it. ~Martha

  1. Should I be able to print out your whole weekly meal plan?
    If so, I am having problems viewing it, let alone being able to print it.

    Please advise, if possible.

    Thank you kindly

  2. 5 stars
    Simple, easy and husband loved it. Made exactly as recipe stated. Iโ€™m sure weโ€™ll be having this often!

  3. Having just recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure and still struggling to control it, I agrees with Connie that sodium content of the recipes would be helpful.

    Having said that, the shrimp brocoll combo is a delicious one and could’nt be easier to make.

  4. Made this for dinner tonight – delish! Quick and easy, AND thereโ€™s enough left over for another meal. Thanks for sharing!

  5. I would definitely make the Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli. So easy and quick, and I would probably make extra to have for a lunch during the week.
