A delightful dish combining the zesty flavors of lemon and garlic with perfectly roasted shrimp and vegetables.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal roasting results.
Arrange the broccoli and carrot slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Let the shrimp marinate for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Add the shrimp mixture to the baking sheet, arranging them among the vegetables.
Ensure the shrimp and vegetables are spread out for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender.
Stir halfway through roasting for even cooking.
Serve the roasted shrimp and vegetables immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
Serve with a side of rice or salad for a complete meal.
