Equipment
- 1 Sheet Pan large
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
Shrimp and Vegetables
- 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 cups bell peppers sliced
- 1 red onion sliced
Maple Mustard Glaze
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the shrimp and vegetables cook evenly and the glaze caramelizes nicely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, sliced bell peppers, and red onion. Toss to combine and set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Pour the maple mustard glaze over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything to ensure an even coating.
- Spread the glazed shrimp and vegetables in a single layer on a large sheet pan.
Serving
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the shrimp are opaque and the vegetables are tender-crisp. Serve immediately.
- Serve with rice or quinoa to soak up the flavorful glaze. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Storage
- Allow any leftovers to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
Notes
Pro Tips: For a deeper flavor, marinate the shrimp in the glaze for at least 30 minutes before assembling the sheet pan. Ingredient Substitutions: Use honey instead of maple syrup for a different sweetness, or swap Dijon mustard with whole grain mustard for texture. How to Serve: Pair with a fresh green salad or steamed jasmine rice. Storage & Freshness: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make-Ahead Tips: Prep all ingredients and marinate the shrimp a day ahead for an even quicker meal.
