- Prepare the vegetables Mix them with olive oil and spices. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Boil the vegetables for 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Meanwhile, prepare the shrimp Mix it with olive oil and spices.
- Place the shrimp on the same plate and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until opaque and cooked through. As simple as that!
