Ina Garten’s Sheet Pan Roasted Shrimp is a straightforward method of cooking large shrimp by tossing them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and sometimes garlic or lemon, then roasting them in a single layer in a hot oven. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the shrimp and gives them a slightly caramelised edge without overcooking.
Unlike boiling or sautéing, this method ensures even cooking, better texture, and a more concentrated flavour—all in one pan.
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Optional: 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Optional: 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped parsley for garnish
Optional: Lemon wedges for serving
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Prep the shrimp – Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Season generously – In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional garlic or lemon juice. Mix until well coated.
Arrange on the sheet pan – Spread the shrimp in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. This helps them cook evenly.
Roast until pink and firm – Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and just curled.
Finish with garnish – Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon, if desired. Serve immediately.
