Ingredients You'll Need

Here’s what you’ll gather for this delightful meal. Adjust quantities based on how many you're serving!

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed)
• 1 red bell pepper, cored and sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cored and sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth (low sodium preferred)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)
• Crusty bread or rice, for serving

Simple Steps to Your Dinner

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. On the prepared sheet pan, combine the sliced bell peppers, onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Add the minced garlic. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
3. Roast the vegetables for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp and starting to caramelize.
4. While the vegetables are roasting, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
5. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Arrange the seasoned shrimp among the roasted vegetables. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth evenly over the pan.
6. Return the sheet pan to the oven and cook for another 8-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, and the broth is bubbling. The vegetables will continue to soften, creating that lovely "soupy" element.
7. Carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if using.
8. Serve immediately with crusty bread for soaking up that delicious broth, or over a bed of fluffy rice.

Tips and Variations for Your Table

This recipe is wonderfully adaptable!

• Add a kick: A pinch of red pepper flakes with the seasonings can add a nice bit of heat.
• Veggie swap: Feel free to add quick-cooking vegetables like zucchini or asparagus in the last 10 minutes of roasting.
• Herb power: Fresh dill or basil would also be fantastic additions at the end.
• Creamier broth: Stir in a tablespoon of coconut milk or a splash of heavy cream with the broth for a richer sauce.

There you have it – a truly comforting, flavorful meal that fits perfectly into the busy, cozy rhythm of November. It's a testament to how simple ingredients, prepared thoughtfully, can create something so satisfying.
