Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 medium (about 1 & 1/2 lbs) potatoes diced
  • ½ jalapeno sliced
  • Feta and green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, combine clean and dry shrimp, 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together.
  • Grease a 9-inch baking dish.
  • Add potato and drizzle with remaining oil, sprinkle salt, pepper, and jalapeño.
  • Roast potatoes in the oven for about 15 minutes, until tender.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and top with shrimp and place back in the oven.
  • Roast an additional 10 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and roasted.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with feta and green onions

Notes

  • Buy peeled and deveined shrimp to save yourself the time of doing it yourself. 
  • You can use fresh or frozen shrimp. Just make sure you fully thaw the frozen shrimp before using.
  • If keeping the skin on the potatoes, make sure to give them a good scrub beforehand and dry thoroughly. 
  • To store: Tightly wrap or transfer to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat: You can reheat leftovers in the microwave or oven. However, the shrimp may overcook a bit as potatoes take longer to heat. This is why it's important to cut the potatoes into small pieces.
