As a busy mom of two I am obsessed with easy recipes. Bonus points if we’re talking about easy dinners specifically. Often times I just don’t have the energy to put much thought into a weeknight dinner at the end of a long day and that’s okay. Sheet pan meals are a personal favorite of mine because everything cooks on one pan. That means minimal effort and minimal clean up. That’s the best part if you ask me. Imagine all the great things you can do with the time you save!
Shrimp is a great option for a sheet pan meal because shrimp cooks quickly. Now add roasted broccoli and you have an easy shrimp recipe the whole family will be excited to eat. You can use other fresh vegetables that cook quickly if you like. Fresh green beans or sliced zucchini would also work well.
If you’re wanting more easy recipes with shrimp check out my Lemon Butter Shrimp (this one has an amazing garlic butter sauce), Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry (so much fresh garlic in this one), or Cajun Shrimp with Cauliflower Rice (a yummy low carb meal for fans of cajun seasoning). You’ll love all of these flavorful shrimp recipes when you just a little time to throw together a meal.
Sheet Pan Greek Shrimp and Broccoli Ingredients
- Broccoli: We’re roasting fresh broccoli florets in this sheet pan meal. They cook quickly so they’re the perfect side for fast cooking shrimp.
- Olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil helps make our veggies tender and ensures we get that browning we want.
- Shrimp: You want uncooked, peeled, and deveined raw shrimp. I like to leave the tails on but you’re welcome to remove them if you’d rather. Jumbo shrimp is recommended but you can use smaller shrimp as well. You just may need to reduce the cook time.
- Lemon juice: The vibrant flavor of lemon pairs beautifully with shrimp.
- Dried herbs and spices: We’re using plenty of spices to beautifully flavor this easy recipe. The seasonings include dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
How to Make Sheet Pan Greek Shrimp and Broccoli
To make this simple recipe first spread broccoli florets on a large baking sheet. You can line your sheet pan with parchment paper or not. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder. Since broccoli needs more roasting time than shrimp we first let that bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the shrimp with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Add the the shrimp to the hot baking sheet with the broccoli in a single layer. Bake for another 5 to 7 minutes.
Top with lemon zest or lemon slices (a squeeze of lemon is so lovely with seafood) and dinner is done! Fresh parsley would also be a welcome addition if you’re serving this to guests and want a great presentation.
How to Store Leftover Sheet Pan Shrimp and Broccoli
Want to enjoy this easy shrimp sheet pan dinner the next day or later in the week? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet on the stovetop on low to medium-low heat until warmed through. You can also heat in the microwave until warmed through.
How to Serve This
This easy meal can be enjoyed as is or pair it with additional side dishes. A simple salad with Easy Homemade Italian Dressing would be delicious. If you’d like to make this heartier I recommend serving with brown rice, white rice, or roasted sweet potatoes.

Easy and flavorful for a weeknight dinner. Shrimp is always a freezer staple at my house but I get tired of the carb heavy pasta dishes I usually make . Thanks for this family friendly meal that was light but fillingÂ
My whole family loved this recipe (including 2 teenage boys). Seasoning was great and it was simple to make.
