🍲 Ingredients

Sausage – Sausage is an inexpensive protein source that can add some texture and bring up the protein content of this Shrimp Sheet Pan dinner. You can use any type of sausage you love to make this dish or you can omit it altogether if you prefer to just have a seafood dish.
👩🍳 How to Make Sheet Pan Shrimp
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the dressing by whisking together olive oil, dried oregano, salt, pepper, lemon juice, red wine vinegar and pressed garlic. Set aside.
- Season the shrimp: In a medium bowl add the defrosted shrimp along with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, ½ tsp garlic powder and ½ tsp onion powder and stir to combine. Set aside.
- To the sheet pan add the cut asparagus, sausages (whole), olives, drained and rinsed beans and sliced red onion. Drizzle over half of the dressing and lightly toss to coat everything well. Place the lemon slices within the ingredients on the pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and make space to place the seasoned shrimp. Add back to the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through. The sausages should also be cooked through at this time.
- Remove the sausages from the pan and slice into ½ inch pieces. Add back to the pan.
- To finish, drizzle the rest of the dressing over top of everything on the sheet pan; garnish with fresh parsley, dill and mint; and, finally top with crumbled feta cheese. Serve with a side of tzatziki if desired.
🪄 Tips and Tricks
- Prep The Shrimp: Take the shells and tails off your shrimp if you prefer and pat them dry with paper towels. I find taking the shells and tails off just makes it a lot easier to eat.
- Veggies: You can totally play with the veggies in this meal to make it your own. That’s the beauty of sheet pan dishes!
- Don’t Overcook: The key to shrimp is to not overcook it. Shrimp cooks QUICK so you want to keep your eye on it so it doesn’t turn tough and rubbery.

🤔 Common Questions

Shrimp is so easy to tell when it’s cooked which makes it great for novice chefs. A uncooked shrimp looks almost blue/translucent, where cooked shrimp looks more pink. Shrimp doesn’t take too long to cook so keep your eye on it!
