Ingredients

For the Meal:

  • 1 lb. large frozen shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 lb. fresh broccoli trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Instructions:

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help to roast the shrimp and broccoli perfectly.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen shrimp and the trimmed broccoli florets. Drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  • Step 3: Season the Mixture. Feel free to season the shrimp and broccoli with salt, pepper, or your favorite spices. Toss everything together until well mixed.
  • Step 4: Spread on the Sheet Pan. Transfer the shrimp and broccoli mixture to the sheet pan, spreading it out in a single layer. This will ensure even cooking and browning.
  • Step 5: Roast in the Oven. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes. The shrimp should be pink and cooked through, while the broccoli should be tender yet crisp.
  • Step 6: Add the Finishing Touch. Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle with black sesame seeds if using. This adds a nice visual appeal and a nutty flavor.
