💡 Tips for Buying and Cooking Shrimp

• When menu planning a shrimp dinner, you should generally plan on 4 ounces of shrimp per person.

• To make peeling much easier, look for "easy peel" shrimp. They come with the peelings already split down the back of the shrimp.

• If you're buying frozen shrimp, which definitely have a longer shelf life, read the label. Shrimp should be just that, shrimp. There should be no preservatives listed on the label.

• Wild-caught shrimp are going to be sweeter and of better quality than farm-raised shrimp, so try to find those when you can. They'll keep for months in the freezer, so stock up when you're able.

• Look for IQF on the package. This is an indicator that the shrimp were individually quick-frozen on a conveyor belt, usually while the boats were still in the ocean.

☑️ Storage Instructions

Fridge: Store leftover sheet pan shrimp and veggies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be safely stored for up to a couple of days.

Freezer: To freeze, arrange the cooled shrimp and veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour. Transfer them to airtight containers or freezer bags, and they can be stored for up to a couple of months in the freezer.

🍴 What to Serve with Shrimp and Veggies

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Veggies: Feel free to add other veggies. Broccoli, fresh mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or even sweet potatoes can make an awesome addition. If you use sweet potatoes, add them to the sheet pan first, cook them for about 10 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients so they are all cooked perfectly and ready at the same time.

• Add some heat: If you enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the shrimp and veggies for a spicy twist.

• Fresh herbs: You can experiment with different herbs like fresh parsley, cilantro, or dill.

• Toppings: Just before serving, sprinkle some freshly grated Parmesan or feta cheese over the sheet pan for a cheesy topping. Crunchy pine nuts are another great topping.

• Citrus: Add a burst of fresh citrus flavor by adding a sprinkle of lime or lime zest before baking. Once the dish comes out of the oven, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice over the top of the shrimp.

Can I Use Frozen Shrimp in this Recipe?

For best results, you should use thawed shrimp. If your looking for a great recipe for frozen shrimp, check out these Air Fryer Frozen Shrimp.

How Do I Know When the Shrimp Are Done?

Shrimp cook quickly. Once they turn opaque and have a pinkish hue, they are done. Overcooking can lead to a rubbery texture, so keep an eye on them.

How Do I Prevent the Veggies From Getting Soggy?

Make sure you spread out the vegetables evenly on the sheet pan. This allows them to roast rather than steam. Overcrowding can lead to excess moisture, which makes vegetables soggy.

Do I Have to Peel the Shrimp Before Cooking?

If you bought shrimp with the skins on, you don't necessarily have to peel them before cooking, but it is recommended. Peeling shrimp before cooking them keeps you from having to deal with peeling them as you eat.

If using whole shrimp, consider choosing the "Easy Peel" variety, which comes with the peelings already split down the back to make the task a little bit easier.
