Sheet Pan Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli Recipe

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.

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.

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.
