Shrimp can quickly overcook on a sheet pan; zucchini is slow to caramelize. Roasted Zucchini and Shrimp With Za’atar Yogurt resolves that by layering the cooking and making use of the broiler. Roasted zucchini and shrimp with za’atar yogurt. Cooking the tiny crustaceans on a sheet pan can be tricky — this vibrant dish, full of golden-edged zucchini, from Melissa Clark changes that. Food styled by Rebecca Jurkevich. Some sheet-pan meals are so simple you could almost cook them in your sleep.
In my first round of testing, I started with the zucchini in the oven, letting it roast until sufficiently browned, which takes about 35 minutes. Then, I added the shrimp for another couple of minutes. This worked pretty well, but not consistently enough. Sometimes the shrimp at the edges of the pan had curled and toughened by the time the ones in the middle cooked through.
Switching to the broiler after adding the shrimp made all the difference. The heat from above seared them quickly and evenly until they were all perfectly cooked, and it also amped up the golden color of the zucchini, making it richer and more intense. It was well worth the extra step. Although this recipe does involve more moves than, say, sleepwalk chicken and vegetables, it’s still blissfully easy. And those few moments of paying attention are amply rewarded with a delightful meal to satisfy your sheet-pan dinner dreams.This simple, colorful sheet-pan meal combines caramelized chunks of zucchini and tender shrimp. The zucchini is given a head start in the oven so it can turn deeply brown, while the shrimp marinate in a mix of za’atar and lemon zest, absorbing the flavors.
