Sheet Pan Dinner - Lemony Shrimp and Broccoli Rabe

 

I'm a huge fan of sheet pan dinners.  There is next to no clean up, and that's quite ok with me.  

4 Tbsp olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

2 bunches of broccoli rabe

1 1/2 lb tail-on shrimp (peeled and deveined)

2 tsp Dijon mustard

2 garlic cloves, minced

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Line one sheet pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.  

Place the broccoli rave in a bowl with 2 Tbsp of the olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.  Toss to coat.  Spread the broccoli rabe in a single layer ono half of the baking sheet.  Bake for 8 minutes.  

While the broccoli rabe is cooking, combine the shrimp (I like the 16 - 20 size) with 2 Tbsp olive oil, the mustard, and garlic.  Season well with salt and pepper.  Toss to coat evenly.  

Once the broccoli rabe has cooked for 8 minutes, transfer the shrimp to the empty side of the sheet pan.  Roast until the shrimp are bright pink and opaque throughout and the broccoli rabe stems are fork-tender, 8 - 10 minutes.  Remove from the oven and squeeze the lemon juice all over the shrimp and broccoli rabe.  Serve immediately.

This simple dish is great pared with pasta or crusty bread.
