Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails off)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, cut into half-moons
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Mix cornstarch with water until smooth, then slowly whisk into the simmering sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened to a glossy glaze. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss shrimp and chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Spread shrimp and veggies in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Roast for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove pan and drizzle teriyaki sauce evenly over shrimp and vegetables. Gently toss to coat using tongs or a spatula.
  8. Return to oven and roast for another 5-7 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque and sauce is caramelized.
  9. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately, ideally over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

Pat shrimp dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Add teriyaki sauce halfway through roasting to prevent sogginess. Watch shrimp closely in the last minutes to avoid overcooking. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Maple syrup can replace brown sugar for sweetness. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently in a skillet.
