Directions
1. To make the sheet pan shrimp: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a rimmed sheet pan.
2. In a small bowl, combine garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper, and set aside.
3. Throw the shrimp on the sheet pan, sprinkle generously with the spice mix, drizzle with olive oil. Toss to combine and spread the shrimp in one layer over the sheet pan.
4. Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven, tossing once halfway through until shrimp have cooked through – about 8 – 10 minutes. You can crisp up the shrimp by using the broiler for the last 2 minutes.
5. Drizzle lemon juice evenly over the baked shrimp and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and red chili pepper flakes. Serve the sheet pan shrimp on rice with a side of steamed veggies such as broccoli. Enjoy! ❤️

What shrimp should we use to make the shrimp sheet pan dinner?
You definitely want to use the biggest shrimp you can find. It’s up to you whether or not the tails are removed. I like to leave them on for a nicer presentation, but not everyone enjoys the extra step when eating the dish.
What to serve with the baked sheet pan shrimp?
We recommend serving the sheet pan shrimp dinner with white rice and broccoli, but you can go full low-carb mode with cauliflower rice and roasted veggies.
How to Reheat Baked Shrimp
If you have leftover sheet pan shrimp – which we highly doubt – we recommend reheating the leftovers in a skillet on the stovetop. This will prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery like in the microwave.
How long to keep the shrimp leftovers?
You can keep the shrimp sheet-pan leftovers for 2 or 3 days in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Reheat the shrimp by following the instructions above.
