Sheet Pan Shrimp & Vegetables Recipe
Lemony shrimp and asparagus enhance this spin on panzanella salad
Panzanella is a salad traditionally made with stale bread and tomatoes—and it's one of our favorite summer dishes. This easy 30-minute one-pan meal is an updated spin on the classic, using shrimp, sourdough bread and vegetables (watch the video).
Garlicky shrimp are surrounded by asparagus, olives and artichoke hearts, tossed in a balsamic dressing before getting topped with chunks of sourdough to crisp in the oven. The whole tray is then tossed with fresh parsley and mozzarella before serving.
The key to this dish is the layering: By topping the vegetables with the sourdough, the bread can toast and dry out without getting soggy from the dressing. And by tossing right before serving, the bread gets to soak up the pan drippings while still staying crisp.
