🔪 How to Make Mediterranean Sheet Pan Shrimp

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Add the shrimp, zucchini, red onion, artichoke hearts, tomatoes and olives in a large mixing bowl.

Pour the olive oil over the top, then sprinkle the garlic salt, smoked paprika, pepper and oregano over the top.

Tip: If you like a little spice, you can add in some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

Mix until well combined, making sure everything is well coated in the olive oil and spices.

Pour onto a baking sheet that’s been brushed with olive oil. Bake for 8 minutes on the upper ⅓ rack of your oven. Then increase the temperature to 450°F and roast for another 3-5 minutes or until everything is cooked through.

Serve with the feta cheese crumbled over the top.

How Do I Store Sheet Pan Shrimp?

Fridge: Leftover Mediterranean shrimp will stay fresh in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to about 3 days. 

Freezing: It’s not recommended that you freeze leftover baked shrimp. They can become too tough or rubbery once they are frozen then thawed.

Reheating: To reheat this shrimp dish, just place them back in a preheated oven, just until they are warm. You can also reheat them in the microwave.

Are Shrimp Keto? How Many Carbs in Shrimp?

Absolutely! Not only are shrimp very low carb and low calorie, they're packed with nutrition. The amount of protein in shrimp is very impressive, making up over 70% of their calories.

They're a good source of selenium, B12 and iron. If you'd like to read more about the nutrition in shrimp, check out this article on Healthline.com.

Shrimp are very low in carbs. In fact, there's approximately 1 gram of carbohydrates in 6 ounces of cooked shrimp!

Should You Peel Shrimp Before Baking?

This is a personal preference, but in order for the shrimp to really soak up the seasonings and juices from the veggies, I always recommend peeling them. Plus, no one really wants to deal with trying to peel hot shrimp.

Tips for Buying Shrimp

• You’ll make prep work a cinch if you buy "easy peel," shrimp. They have the skin split down the back that make peeling a breeze. Personally though, I like to buy them already peeled and deveined to make my life easier.

• If buying thawed shrimp from the seafood department, make sure they're firm in texture and do not feel slimy or have a strong "shrimpy" smell. That usually means they are not so fresh.

• If you're buying frozen shrimp, you’ll want to read the label. Shrimp should be just that, shrimp. There should be no preservatives listed on the label.

• Good quality shrimp, when cooked, will have a real sweet flavor. So, if you get some that tastes of chlorine or ammonia, which is sometimes used to clean them in some countries, you may want to try another brand.

• Wild caught shrimp are going to be sweeter and are better quality than farm raised, so try to find those when you can. They'll keep for months in the freezer so stock up when you're able to find them.

How Long Do Shrimp Take to Cook in a Pan?

The cooking time can vary based on the size shrimp you buy as well as how many other items are on the pan with them. As a general rule for large-sized shrimp, it will take 12-15 minutes on 425°F, or 15-18 minutes on 400°F.

How Do I Know My Shrimp are Done?

The simplest way to know if baked shrimp is fully cooked is by the color of its flesh. Cooked shrimp should have an opaque white flesh with some pink and bright red accents. Raw shrimp will be whitish-gray in color. Cooked shrimp will also feel firm where raw shrimp feel much softer.

You can also use an instant read thermometer. The USDA recommends that shrimp be cooked to at least 145°F before being eaten. This will ensure that bacteria are cooked out of the shrimp.

Do They Have Shrimp in the Mediterranean?

The Mediterranean Sea is home to some of the world’s best shrimp, called giant red shrimp or giant gamba prawn. It is a type of deep-water shrimp in oceans in tropical zones. They are not commonly found in our local grocery stores, but no worries. With all the other wonderful flavors in this recipe, you’ll never know the difference.
