Ingredients

Scale

Protein:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Vegetables:

  • 2 cups (480 milliliters) corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) cherry tomatoes
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Seasonings and Oil:

  • 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven by heating to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and efficient cooking.
  2. In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine shrimp, corn, cherry tomatoes, Old Bay seasoning, olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring each ingredient is evenly coated with the seasonings.
  3. Distribute the seasoned mixture across the prepared sheet pan, creating a single layer to promote uniform cooking and maximize flavor development.
  4. Arrange thin lemon slices strategically over the shrimp and vegetables to infuse a bright, citrusy essence during the roasting process.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, watching for visual cues such as shrimp turning pink and tomatoes developing a blistered, slightly burst appearance.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately garnish with freshly chopped chives to add a vibrant, herbaceous note to the dish.
  7. Serve piping hot, accompanied by crusty bread or rice to absorb the flavorful pan juices, creating a complete and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Select jumbo or large shrimp for the best texture and most satisfying bite, ensuring they cook evenly without becoming rubbery.
  • Adjust Old Bay seasoning according to personal spice preference, reducing or increasing amount to suit individual taste buds.
  • Use fresh corn kernels during summer season for maximum sweetness and crispness, or substitute frozen corn during off-peak months.
  • Pat shrimp completely dry before seasoning to help achieve beautiful caramelization and prevent excess moisture during roasting.
