Ingredients

  • ½ pound cherry tomatoes I used on the vine (apx. 250grams)
  • 2 ounces red onion cut into wedges or(60g)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil separated
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon black pepper cracked
  • 1 pound raw shrimp peeled or (apx. 450 grams) if frozen see above
  • 1 teaspoon paprika smoked (or to taste)
  • 12 slices pepperoni

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 355F / 180C / 160 fan.
  • Place the tomatoes and onion on a non-stick baking tray and carefully toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, garlic cloves, thyme, and half of the salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, butterfly the peeled shrimp. If you’re not sure on how to do this, see this video here.
  • Place in a bowl and toss with the paprika and rest of the salt and pepper. Add the pepperoni and shrimp to the tray and toss to combine. Bake for 3 more minutes.
  • Drain the juices from pan into a tall cup. Remove 1 garlic clove and about 4 tomatoes from the tray then place the pan back in oven for about 5 minutes to crisp up the pepperoni and cook the shrimp to your liking.
  • Meanwhile, blend the juices with the reserved 4 tomatoes and 1 clove of garlic (skin removed) using an immersion blender. Add these juices to a pan and simmer for about 5 minutes to concentrate and thicken.
  • Toss / drizzle the sauce over the sheet pan to serve plus 2 tablespoon olive oil, optional fresh thyme leaves and cracked black pepper.
