Try some red pepper flakes for heat or fresh basil for a sweet note. If you want more veggies, consider adding asparagus, green beans, or cherry tomatoes.

For tofu, press it to remove excess water before slicing. Adjust cooking times based on your protein choice. Chicken takes about 20 minutes to cook, while tofu needs just 12-15 minutes. Feel free to change up the veggies. Asparagus, green beans, or carrots are great choices. You can also use seasonal veggies to keep it fresh. Try zucchini in summer or Brussels sprouts in fall. Each vegetable adds a unique taste and color to your dish. Get creative with flavors. You can try different citrus fruits like lime or orange. These can add a fun twist! For a spicy kick, add a dash of red pepper flakes. This small change can make a big difference in taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container. This keeps the shrimp and veggies fresh. Use glass or plastic containers that seal well. Make sure to cool the dish to room temperature first. It can stay in the fridge for three days. To reheat, use the oven or microwave. For the oven, set it to 350°F (175°C). Place the dish on a baking sheet and cover it with foil. Heat for about 10 minutes. In the microwave, heat in short bursts. Stir and check every 30 seconds. This helps keep the shrimp and veggies tender. Want to save some for later? You can freeze it! Place the cooled dish in a freezer-safe container. Be sure to leave some space at the top for expansion. It can last in the freezer for up to three months. For best flavor, eat it sooner rather than later. Yes, you can prep this dish ahead of time. You can chop the veggies and shrimp a day before. Place them in the fridge in an airtight container. You can also mix the lemon-garlic sauce and store it separately. This way, you save time on busy days. Just combine everything and bake when you're ready to eat. I recommend using large shrimp for this recipe. You can choose fresh or frozen shrimp. Fresh shrimp has a sweet taste, but frozen shrimp is often just as good. If you use frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them in cold water before cooking. This helps them cook evenly and taste great. You can tell shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque. They should curl slightly as they cook. The veggies should be tender but still crisp. If you keep an eye on them, you can get both just right. This dish is all about bright colors and flavors, so don’t overcook! This blog post covered a tasty shrimp bake filled with fresh veggies.

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and cleanup after baking.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled shrimp, broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. This colorful mix will create a deliciously vibrant dish.

      In a separate small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper, blending the flavors well.

        Drizzle the lemon-garlic mixture over the shrimp and vegetables. Use tongs or your hands to gently toss everything together until all ingredients are thoroughly coated.

          Spread the coated shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly on the prepared sheet pan, ensuring the shrimp are arranged in a single layer for optimal cooking.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, checking for doneness. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque, while the vegetables will become tender-crisp and flavorful.

              Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Before serving, sprinkle generously with chopped fresh parsley to enhance the flavor and presentation.
