Sheet pan meals have become all the rage in recent years—a simple way to quickly cook a wide assortment of veggies and proteins together, with only one pan to wash after. Though sausages and chicken thighs are common, raw, peeled, tail-on shrimp are ideal candidates; they cook quickly, in about the same amount of time as fresh asparagus when it’s in season, but can be added to the pan halfway through the cooking time hardier veggies require. This is a simple meal that comes together quickly, with ingredients you can have on hand—shrimp in the freezer, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli keep well longer than most fresh veggies in the fridge. Hold back the spices on half the pan if you’re feeding people with sensitive palates—or add more if you like more spice.
