A quick and easy Mediterranean diet sheet pan shrimp recipe featuring zucchini and feta, perfect for healthy and flavorful weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) crumbled feta cheese
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and slice two medium zucchinis into half-moons about 1/4 inch thick. Spread them out on the sheet pan.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Whisk or stir to blend.
  4. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the oil and seasoning mixture.
  5. Arrange the shrimp on the sheet pan alongside the zucchini, spreading everything out in a single layer.
  6. Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for about 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, and the zucchini is tender with slightly browned edges. Halfway through cooking, give the pan a gentle shake or turn the zucchini for even roasting.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the hot shrimp and zucchini.
  8. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the whole dish, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
  9. Serve warm right from the pan or transfer to individual plates.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Use fresh shrimp if possible and pat frozen shrimp dry before use. Add feta cheese at the end to keep its crumbly texture. Lemon juice brightens the flavors. If shrimp cooks faster than zucchini, remove shrimp early to prevent overcooking.
