What is a sheet pan dinner?

Sheet pan dinners are an all-in-one method of cooking your meal, similar to a one pot or skillet dinner. It saves time, provides easy cleanup, allows flavors to marry and marinate together, and does not require any fancy kitchen equipment. Pick your protein, add an assortment of vegetables, season and drizzle with oil then roast until everything is cooked through.

What sauce goes good with shrimp?

Because shrimp is so versatile in flavor, many different sauces and seasonings will compliment it very well. We use a lemon oregano based sauce for this recipe, but you could also opt for sauces like butter garlic, pesto, a mango salsa, Old Bay and paprika, or a spicy Cajun marinade.

Can I use parchment paper for sheet pan dinners?

Parchment paper or even aluminum foil are great to use when making a sheet pan dinner. Lining your baking sheet will aid in quick cleanup, prevent food from sticking to the pan, and maximize the amount of food that makes it to your plate.

Silpat mats are another great liner if you have some on hand. They are non-toxic reusable baking mats that are quick to clean up and naturally non-stick. We use silpat mats whenever possible, they are a valuable kitchen tool.
