Sheet Pan Cajun Shrimp

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Step 2

Prepare vegetables by removing the stems from the broccoli and chopping the red pepper and onion.

Step 3

To get the perfect squares for the pepper, I cut it in half and remove the core.

Step 4

Cut the two halves, into thirds and then each thirds I cut into thirds as well.

Step 5

As for the onion, I follow the same step as I do for the peppers.

Step 6

In a large bowl, add the broccoli and toss with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add 1-2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning and toss to coat.

Step 7

Add to a large baking sheet, add to preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes.

Step 8

Using the same bowl that you tossed the broccoli in, add the peppers & onion. Toss to coat with 2 teaspoons olive oil and 1-2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning.

Step 9

Once the broccoli has cooked for 8 minutes remove pan from the oven, add the peppers and onion. Stir the broccoli and peppers around the pan and intermix the vegetables. Place back in the oven and bake for another 6 minutes.

Step 10

Meanwhile remove the shell and devein the shrimp.

Step 11

Using the same bowl that you tossed the vegetables in, add the shrimp. Toss to coat with 1 tablespoon of oil and 2-3 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning.

Step 12

Once the vegetables have cooked for 6 minutes remove pan from the oven, add the shrimp and stir the shrimp in with the broccoli, peppers and onion. Place back in the oven and bake for 4-6 minutes or until shrimp are cooked all the way through and a nice light pink color.

Step 13

Remove pan from oven and serve immediately. I love serving this with squeeze of lemon juice and rice.
