A quick and flavorful sheet pan dinner featuring garlicky butter shrimp roasted with fresh zucchini and sweet corn, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (medium or large size)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears) or frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until combined. Set aside.
  3. On your sheet pan, toss the sliced zucchini and corn kernels with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly on one half of the pan.
  4. Place the peeled and deveined shrimp on the other half of the sheet pan. Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the shrimp and toss gently to coat.
  5. Roast on the middle rack for 10–12 minutes until shrimp turn pink and curl, zucchini is tender with slight char, and corn is roasted.
  6. Remove from oven and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over everything.
  7. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting. For a more caramelized finish, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely. Substitute coconut oil or vegan butter for dairy-free version. Swap zucchini for yellow squash or asparagus for seasonal variation.
