Colorful, flavorful and easy to prepare, this sheet pan Mediterranean shrimp is ideal for relaxed entertaining.  Most of the chopping can be completed ahead, leaving only a few minutes of cooking once the guests arrive.

Roasted vegetables, seasoned shrimp, feta and fresh herbs come together in one pan for a meal that feels generous and festive without requiring hours in the kitchen.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees, putting the baking sheet in the oven to heat up with the oven.
2. Toss tomatoes, onion and broccoli in a bowl along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
3. Removed the baking sheet and carefully line with parchment paper.  Spread the vegetable mix on the paper.  Roast for 15 minutes.
4. In a bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, lemon juice, olives, and shrimp.
5. When the vegetables are ready, add the shrimp mixture and bake 5-8 minutes, depending on size.

Robin's Tips:  

• Chop the vegetables earlier in the day.
• Keep the seasoned shrimp refreigerated until needed
• Add the shrimp only after the vegetables have started roasting.
• Either serve directly from the sheet pan (the parchment paper is a pretty frame) or transfer to a warm platter.

What to serve with it

• Watermelon, Cucumber and Feta Salad
• Warm, crusty bread or sourdough boule
• Aperol Spritz
• A simple lemon tart or berries with mascarpone
