Did the words Shrimp and Broccoli in this title for Shrimp and Broccoli Sheet Pan Meal get your attention? This new sheet pan meal recipe that has large shrimp cooked with broccoli actually came about because I had some of those pricey jumbo shrimp in my freezer that needed to be used.
I thawed them out when I was having a cooking session with my gorgeous niece Kara, and we came up with this tasty shrimp and broccoli dinner with Asian flavors. Then when I asked on the Kalyn’s Kitchen Facebook Page if it was too close to summer to feature a Sheet Pan Meal, people assured me they love easy sheet pan meals even when the weather gets warmer.
And this spicy shrimp and broccoli meal cooks quickly, so it shouldn’t heat up your kitchen that much; enjoy!

How to Make Shrimp and Broccoli Sheet Pan Meal:
(This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)
- I used extra-large 16-20 per pound size shrimp, but if you have a smaller size, cook the shrimp for slightly less time.
- Let shrimp thaw overnight in the fridge or all day while you’re at work and then drain very well while you mix the marinade/sauce mixture.
- Pat shrimp dry with paper towels, then put shrimp in a Ziploc bag, add half the sauce mixture, and let shrimp marinate about 30 minutes (or a little longer won’t hurt.)
- While shrimp marinates, preheat oven to 400F/200C, trim the broccoli and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Toss broccoli with 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil (or another neutral-flavored oil will work.)
- Brush a large baking sheets with a few teaspoon of olive oil and spread the broccoli out so pieces are not touching each other.
- Roast the broccoli 12-15 minutes, remembering it will cook more after you add the shrimp.
- Then add the shrimp (putting them in the spaces between the broccoli) and roast about 6-8 minutes more. (Don’t overcook; start to check after four or five minutes. Shrimp is done when it’s barely firm and bright pink.)
- Brush the cooked broccoli and shrimp with the reserved glaze mixture, sprinkle with Black Sesame Seeds (affiliate link) if desired, and serve the Sriracha-Spiced Shrimp and Broccoli hot!

Shrimp and Broccoli Sheet Pan Meal
If you like broccoli and shrimp you're going to love this easy Shrimp and Broccoli Sheet Pan Meal, and it's quick enough for a work-night dinner! There's a soy sauce glaze with spicy Sriracha Sauce, but you can make it as spicy or mild as you prefer.
Ingredients
Sheet Pan Meal Ingredients:
- 1 lb. large frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined (see notes)
- 1 lb. fresh broccoli, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces (see notes)
- 1 1/2 T + 2 tsp. olive oil
- 2 tsp. black sesame seeds (optional)
 Marinade/Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup soy sauce or reduced sodium soy sauce (Use gluten-free soy sauce if needed.)
- 2 T rice vinegar (see notes)
- 2 T sweetener of your choice (see notes)
- 2 tsp. sugar-free maple syrup (see notes)
- 2 tsp. Sriracha Rooster Sauce (see notes)
- 2 tsp. Asian sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Instructions
- Let shrimp thaw overnight in the fridge or all day while you're at work and then drain very well in a colander placed in the sink.
- Whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sweeteners of your choice, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder to make the sauce.
- When shrimp have drained well, pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
- Put shrimp in a Ziploc bag, add half the sauce mixture, and let shrimp marinate about 30 minutes (or a little longer won't hurt.)
- While shrimp marinates, trim broccoli and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
- Put broccoli into a bowl and toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil. Brush a large baking sheet with 2 tsp. olive oil.
- Roast the broccoli for 12-15 minutes, or until it's as tender-crisp as you prefer. (I would taste a piece after 10-12 minutes if you like your broccoli fairly crisp. Remember the broccoli will cook longer with the shrimp.)
- Then add the shrimp (putting them in the spaces between the broccoli) and roast about 6-8 minutes more. (Don't overcook; start to check after four or five minutes. Shrimp is done when it's barely firm and bright pink.)
- Remove from the oven when shrimp is barely done and brush the cooked broccoli and shrimp with the reserved glaze mixture.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired, and serve Sriracha-Spiced Shrimp and Broccoli hot.
Notes
I used 16-20 shrimp to a pound size; you can use a smaller size but reduce the cooking time a little for smaller shrimp. And buy shrimp already peeled and deveined if you have that option; so much easier!
We had 6 cups broccoli florets after trimming.
I used Monkfruit Sweetener for this recipe, combined with a little sugar-free maple syrup (or use agave nectar if you prefer, but it has more carbs). You can use just one sweetener of your choice, but the maple syrup or agave helps the glaze stick to the broccoli and shrimp better. (links are affiliate links.)
Use more or less Sriracha to taste. Do not use seasoned rice vinegar which contains sugar.

Nice info! I read this post. Your post is such a nice one and your recipes are delicious. Thanks for sharing tasty recipes.
Glad you like it!
My talents do NOT lie in the kitchen, and I’m scared to cook seafood (food-poisoning from shrimp cocktail about 20 years ago has me terrified of making my entire family sick), but I followed your detailed instructions exactly as written, and served this with your suggested side of The Best Easy Cauliflower Rice (thank you for the suggestion). SO GOOD!! Every recipe I’ve every tried of yours has been a hit with the whole family. Thank you for sharing YOUR talents with all of us!
So happy you are enjoying the recipes!
Absolutely delicious! Very easy and full of flavor. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us! I’ll be making this one often.
So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
I made a sheet pan shrimp dish once. The one where you toss it in powdered Italian dressing….so no liquid at all. It was horrible. Steamed, not browned or caramelized. Did you really cook that dish on the same pan as the photograph? I really would like to try this…but I cannot throw a pound of shrimp in the garbage again.
Of course I cooked the shrimp on the pan it’s photographed on. Notice that there isn’t much sauce on the shrimp when it cooks. Most of it is used as a glaze that’s brushed on when the shrimp is done; that is what makes this shrimp look caramelized. And the bigger the roasting pan the better.
Would love to make this! Just wondering if I should peel the shrimp first??
Oops, I had peeled shrimp so I left that out of the directions. Yes, the shrimp should definitely be peeled. Will edit right now!
Of course you are not *required* to make the recipes. But FYI, it is pouring rain and cold in Utah right now. So I don’t think I’m that far off schedule with this one.
I can never resist shrimp or roasted broccoli – and what is it about black sesame seeds that make every dish they touch so very pretty? Beautiful recipe. Thank you so much for sharing my Banh Mi Salad, too!
Brenda, my pleasure! So glad you like it. I would never get tired of these flavors.
This looks great! I have never tried Broccoli and Siriacha together before, I bet it ‘s awesome. Love this is compatible with so many different diet types.
Thanks Stephanie; we loved it when we tested the recipe. Just like spicy Chinese food!
