A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring shrimp and broccoli roasted with a flavorful garlic sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined (wild-caught if possible)
  • 4 cups (about 300g) fresh broccoli florets, trimmed into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry.
  3. Place broccoli florets in a mixing bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the broccoli out in a single layer on one side of a rimmed sheet pan.
  5. In the same bowl used for broccoli, add shrimp and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pour half of the garlic sauce over the shrimp and toss gently to coat.
  6. Arrange the shrimp on the other side of the sheet pan, ensuring they are not overlapping.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, checking around 10 minutes, until shrimp are pink and opaque and broccoli edges are slightly browned and tender-crisp.
  8. Remove from oven and drizzle the remaining garlic sauce over the shrimp and broccoli, tossing lightly to combine without sogging the veggies.
  9. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

If broccoli cooks faster than shrimp, add broccoli to the pan 3-4 minutes before shrimp to prevent overcooking. Use room temperature shrimp and pat dry if thawed to avoid steaming. Toss broccoli halfway through roasting for even cooking. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheat gently to maintain texture.
