This sheet-pan dinner uses a simple order of operations: the green beans and tomatoes go in first, and the shrimp join them for the last few minutes, so nothing overcooks. The tomatoes burst and make a light sauce, and the garlic and smoked paprika flavor the oil. Serve it with rice, crusty bread or couscous to catch the juices. It is ready in about thirty-five minutes and makes only one pan to wash.
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and put a large rimmed sheet pan inside to heat.
- Toss the green beans and tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spread them on the hot pan and roast for 12 minutes, until the beans are blistered and the tomatoes have started to burst.
- Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry and toss them with the remaining oil, garlic, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the chili flakes.
- Take the pan out and push the vegetables to the sides. Spread the shrimp in a single layer in the center.
- Roast for 5 to 7 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and opaque and curled into a loose C shape.
- Squeeze over the lemon juice, add the zest and parsley, toss lightly and serve right away.
Tips
- Do not skip drying the shrimp. Wet shrimp steam in the pan and turn watery instead of roasting.
- Larger shrimp take a minute or two longer, and small ones cook in 3 to 4 minutes, so watch them closely.

Steamed rice, couscous, orzo or warm crusty bread work well. A green salad suits the lemony flavor.
