7. While the sheet pan roasts, prepare 3 cups of cooked white rice according to package directions.
8. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Let it rest for 2 minutes—the glaze will thicken slightly as it cools.
9. Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls.
10. Top each rice bowl with the roasted shrimp, pineapple, and peppers, spooning any pan juices over the top.
11. Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
Finish with the sticky-sweet glaze clinging to every bite, balancing the shrimp’s savory char with the pineapple’s bright acidity. Serve it straight from the sheet pan for a casual family-style meal, or pack the components separately for a next-day lunch that holds up beautifully.
Smoky Bacon Sheet Pan Shrimp and Potatoes
Ditch the complicated dinners—this smoky, savory sheet pan meal delivers crispy potatoes and juicy shrimp with minimal cleanup. Crisp bacon adds salty depth while smoked paprika brings the fire. Ready in under an hour, it’s a weeknight hero that feels like a weekend treat.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
For the potatoes and bacon:
– 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
– 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp kosher salt
– ½ tsp black pepper
For the shrimp:
– 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tbsp smoked paprika
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– ½ tsp salt
For finishing:
– 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
– 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt, and ½ tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on one half of the prepared sheet pan. Tip: Cut larger potatoes into quarters so everything cooks evenly.
4. Scatter the chopped bacon over the potatoes.
5. Roast at 425°F for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the bacon is crispy.
6. While the potatoes roast, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels—this helps them sear, not steam.
7. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, and ½ tsp salt. Toss to coat.
8. After 20 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Use tongs to push the potatoes and bacon to one side, creating space.
9. Arrange the seasoned shrimp in a single layer on the empty side of the pan. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the shrimp, or they’ll steam instead of getting a nice sear.
10. Return the pan to the oven and roast for 8–10 minutes at 425°F, until the shrimp are opaque and pink.
11. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Tip: The residual heat will wilt the parsley perfectly.
12. Serve directly from the pan with lemon wedges for squeezing.
Juicy shrimp soak up that smoky bacon flavor while the potatoes crisp into golden perfection. The lemon brightens every bite, cutting through the richness. For a fun twist, pile everything into warm tortillas with avocado crema or serve over a bed of greens for a hearty salad.
