Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine bell pepper slices, zucchini half-moons, cherry tomatoes, and red onion wedges. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Toss well to coat evenly. Spread the veggies on one half of the baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and red pepper flakes if desired. Set aside about 2 tablespoons of this glaze for basting later.
  4. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Place them in the remaining half of the baking sheet. Pour the remaining honey garlic glaze over the shrimp and toss gently to coat each piece thoroughly. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the sheet briefly and baste the shrimp with the reserved glaze using a brush or spoon. Use tongs to gently turn the shrimp and stir the vegetables slightly to promote even roasting.
  7. Return the sheet to the oven and roast for another 5-7 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque and vegetables are tender with golden edges.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat shrimp dry before roasting to avoid steaming. Do not overcrowd the pan for even roasting. Baste shrimp halfway through cooking to keep them moist. Watch shrimp closely to avoid overcooking and rubbery texture. For denser vegetables like carrots or broccoli, roast them 5 minutes before adding shrimp and softer veggies.
