Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced into half moons
  • 1 cup snap peas or green beans
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  3. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, toss shrimp and all chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the vegetables in an even layer on the sheet pan, leaving space for the shrimp. Place the shrimp on the pan and pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over shrimp and veggies. Lightly toss to coat, being careful not to overcrowd.
  5. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring the vegetables gently halfway through, until shrimp are pink and opaque and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
  6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and optional toasted sesame seeds. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat shrimp dry before roasting to avoid steaming and ensure caramelization. Do not overcrowd the pan to prevent soggy vegetables. Resting the dish after roasting helps thicken the sauce and meld flavors. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Add a splash of fresh lemon juice or zest before serving for brightness. Avoid overcooking shrimp to prevent rubbery texture.
