For a streamlined, stress-free meal, slide this shrimp scampi supper into the oven. Preheating the baking sheet gives the sliced potatoes a headstart to crispness, and the broiler steps in at the last minute to cook the garlicky shrimp.
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 475°F, with a rimmed baking sheet on center rack and another rack in top position. Toss potatoes with 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on sheet and roast on center rack, flipping once, until beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, and toss shrimp with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, oregano, and garlic. Season both with salt and pepper.
-
Remove sheet from oven; flip potatoes and push to one side, then add asparagus to other. Roast until potatoes are just tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Switch oven to broil; add shrimp and lemon rounds on top of asparagus and potatoes.
-
Broil on top rack until shrimp are opaque and browned in places, and asparagus and potatoes are cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Serve.
