A quick and flavorful garlic parmesan sheet pan shrimp with zucchini dish that’s easy to prepare, healthy, and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons (about 4 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh lemon wedges (optional garnish)
  • Extra grated Parmesan for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Add peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade bowl. Toss gently to coat each shrimp. Let sit for 5-10 minutes while prepping zucchini.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced zucchini with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and half the grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Spread the zucchini on the sheet pan in an even layer. Place the shrimp on top, spacing them out slightly.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the shrimp and zucchini.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink and opaque and zucchini is tender but not mushy. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for more color, watching carefully.
  8. Remove from oven, sprinkle chopped parsley over everything, and gently toss to combine flavors.
  9. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan to ensure even roasting. Adjust baking time based on shrimp size to prevent overcooking. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil and Parmesan with nutritional yeast. Leftovers store well for up to 2 days and reheat best in a skillet with a splash of lemon juice or olive oil.
