Sheet pan dinners are my go to because it uses less dishes & they are pretty low maintenance meals to make. We love this Mediterranean shrimp! It’s so light and refreshing, just pair it with some brown rice or orzo and some tzatziki sauce and it’s literally perfect.

what you’ll need:
1 1/2 lb shrimp
1 zucchini
1 summer squash
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1/2 small red onion
1/3 cup olive oil
3 lemons (two for juicing, one for garnish)
1 tbs minced garlic
1 tbs dried thyme
1 tbs dried oregano
1 tbs dried parsley
1 tbs dried rosemary
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Tzatziki sauce
Kalamata olives
Feta Cheese
Choice of grain (orzo, brown rice, or quinoa would work!)
Instructions:
First start by chopping all of your veggies into cubes and add them to a large bowl. Next add in your shrimp. I prefer to take the tail off before cooking.
To the bowl with the veggies and shrimp add in the marinade ingredients. The marinade is 1/3 cup olive oil, the juice of 2 lemons, 1 tbs minced garlic, 1 tbs dried thyme, 1 tbs dried oregano, 1 tbs dried parsley, 1 tbs dried rosemary, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp of pepper. Mix everything together and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
While that marinates start cooking your grain of choice according to the package instructions.
Preheat your oven to 425.
Once your veggies and shrimp have marinated try to drain as much of the marinade as possible. Once drained add everything to your sheet pan and spread evenly. Trying not to have too much overlap. Slice some fresh lemon and place on top. I used about 1 lemon.
Place in the oven and cook about 10-13 minutes until shrimp is fully cooked. I chose to broil mine at the end for the last few minutes to get some color on the veggies.
Once it’s out of the oven sprinkle some feta cheese over everything. You can use as much or as little feta as you’d like! It’s really based on your preference.
I served mine with some orzo, tzatziki sauce, and kalamata olives. Enjoy!!
