- It cleans up easily.
What is the proper way to thaw frozen shrimp?
- Thawing frozen shrimp can be done in the refrigerator or by running it under cold water.
- Just remember that once the shrimp is thawed, dry it well with paper towels, and return it to the refrigerator to keep it cold until it's time to cook.
Can this recipe lemon ginger shrimp be made on an outdoor grill?
YES!
All you need are a few bricks that you'll place on the grate of your grill.
You then add the sheet pan on top of the bricks, close the cover of your medium/hot grill, and now your grill works like your indoor oven. Easy Peasy!
*Special Note - Cover the bottom of the sheet pan with foil, so it stays clean and won't turn black from the heat of the flames.
Tips for making the best sheet pan lemon ginger shrimp:
Flip and stir the contents at least once during the roasting period, and make sure that all the ingredients are in an even layer when you return them to the heat.
Make sure to cut the potatoes into small size chunks, so they'll cook at the same rate as the shrimp.
Then, as soon as the potatoes are fork tender and the shrimp are pink and opaque, dinner is ready.
Additional vegetable suggestions for this recipe:
- green beans
- Brussels sprouts
- pearl onions
- zucchini
- cauliflower
- mushrooms
- cherry tomatoes
- eggplant
**Note - If using root vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes, those will take longer cooking time so add those to the sheet tray first and cook them for 15 minutes prior to adding the shrimp and other vegetables.
How long will lemon ginger shrimp keep in the refrigerator once cooked?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Once cooked, you can also store any leftovers in an airtight freezer container for up to 2 months.
How to reheat:
- Thaw completely (if needed).
- Heat on a sheet pan in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10-12 minutes.

This looks great. Over some pasta this would be perfect for dinner!
