After peeling the shrimp, slicing the onion, and mincing the garlic, you’re all set to assemble the rest of the recipe. Follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Add the shrimp to a large bowl. Marinate with olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, and lemon juice.

Mediterranean Couscous With Shrimp

Step 2: After washing and trimming the asparagus, spread the spears on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Place the shrimp in a single layer on top of the asparagus, then add the red onions.

Step 4: After taking the shrimp and veggies out of the oven, sprinkle the feta crumbles, olives, and fresh herbs on top. Finish with another drizzle of olive oil, then enjoy!

I like serving this shrimp with extra lemon, olive oil, and thick, crusty bread. It’s a sensational meal on its own, but you can make it a part of any Mediterranean feast by pairing it with these sides:

Mediterranean Marinated Grilled Shrimp And Vegetables (and The Perfect Summer Wine To Pair With It!)

This one-pan recipe is an excellent way to use bags of frozen shrimp. Technically, you can cook shrimp in the oven directly from frozen, but for the best results, thaw the shrimp in the fridge overnight or place the bag under cold running water until defrosted.

After cooling, transfer the shrimp and vegetables to a shallow airtight container. This way, they’ll stay fresh for 2 to 3 days in the fridge.

Note: If your shrimp is looking pale after cooking for 10 minutes try broiling for 1-2 minutes until they start to turn golden

Sheet Pan Mediterranean Shrimp And Vegetables

Lately, I've taken to buying bags of already peeled and deveined wild-caught shrimp from the freezer section. There is so much you can do with frozen shrimp and there is no shortage of shrimp dinner ideas over here including my earlier grilled shrimp with garlic cilantro sauce; shrimp kabobs ; lemon garlic shrimp with artichoke hearts, or an herby shrimp orzo soup.

In a pinch, I know I can reach for my skillet to make one of many simple shrimp recipes like today's garlic shrimp, cooked in a quick and tasty sauce with shallots and colorful bell peppers! Add some couscous, rice, or plain orzo and a big salad and that's dinner!

In this easy shrimp recipe, shrimp derive flavor from a quick coating of smoked Spanish paprika, coriander, and a pinch of cayenne. I add a little flour to help thicken the sauce later (you can totally omit the flour for the gluten free version.) Then, the shrimp are tossed in the skillet with shallots, fresh garlic (a good bit of it), bell peppers. Pulling everything together is a tasty, light sauce with a simple combination of extra virgin olive oil, white wine, and citrus. That's it!

This garlic shrimp with bell peppers is a quick weeknight dish that you don't need to add much to. I typically add a side of plain orzo, rice (or grain of choice) and a quick salad to start things off.

One Pot Garlicky Shrimp & Broccoli

In fact, I prefer frozen shrimp in my healthy shrimp recipes, because it’s low on prep (especially if you buy it already peeled), less expensive than fresh (much of the time, the “fresh” shrimp sold in the seafood case was frozen first anyway!), and cooks in minutes, making it perfect for fast, easy dinners.

Another benefit to making recipes with classic Mediterranean ingredients is that many of the ingredients like artichokes and olives are shelf stable, so it’s easy to keep them on hand (this classic Mediterranean Pasta is an excellent example of a recipe that makes the most of them).

We enjoyed this as a one-pan meal with simply cooked brown rice, though if you’d like to add more to your meal, here are some suggestions for sides that go well with shrimp:
