This easy sheet pan meal with shrimp and crispy pepperoni is perfect for any night of the week since it roasts so quickly in your oven. It's a low carb, keto, gluten free, family friendly meal made in under 30 minutes!
ROASTING FRESH & FROZEN SHRIMP
Shrimp is one of the easiest proteins to prepare for dinner and get on your table quickly! You can easily stir fry it in a pan, but roasting it until hot and juicy with some veggies, makes for an easy more complete and easy sheet pan dinner meal to feed your family on a busy weeknight.
It's not a problem if you can only find frozen shrimp rather than fresh. In most cases it's cheaper to buy frozen. For this recipe, if using frozen, just leave the bag in your fridge overnight and it should be ready to go for the next night for dinner. If not, you can also dump all the shrimp out into a large, clean bowl and run some cold water over the shrimp. They will thaw out perfectly within 5-10 minutes then proceed with this recipe as directed.
