Print Recipe

A quick and easy Mediterranean-inspired sheet pan shrimp dish featuring feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and bright lemon for a flavorful, fuss-free meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, block or crumbled
  • 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and minced garlic.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture, sprinkle dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss gently until well coated.
  4. Spread the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Nestle thin lemon slices evenly across the pan.
  5. Crumble or cut feta cheese into chunks and scatter over the shrimp and vegetables.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque, tomatoes soften, and feta looks creamy but holds shape.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Squeeze extra lemon juice on top if desired.
  8. Serve warm on its own or over couscous, rice, or with warm pita bread.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting. Use room temperature shrimp for best results. Watch the feta texture to avoid drying or browning. Thaw frozen shrimp completely and pat dry before cooking. For dairy-free, omit feta or use vegan alternative.
