Sheet Pan Shrimp Scampi for One

This weeknight dinner for one is inspired by an incredible garlic shrimp I had at a Chinese restaurant in Hawaii. When roasted at high heat in a quarter sheet pan like this, marinated shrimp cooks up gorgeously and begins to caramelize in its own juices, creating a sauce that's made even saucier thanks to a last-minute pat of butter and spritz of lemon juice.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pinch sugar, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 bowl white rice, for serving

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the shrimp, garlic, soy sauce, mirin, olive oil, sugar, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Lay shrimp on a quarter sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Out of the oven, add butter and toss the shrimp until coated and butter is melted, then spritz with lemon half. Serve with white rice.
