Here's a shrimp sheet pan supper that's roasted and caramelized to perfection! The pineapple in this recipe makes a sweet sauce that balances the heat of the Jamaican jerk seasoning.

Ingredients:
  • 1 ½ pounds fresh or frozen large shrimp in shells
  • 4 (1/4 inch thick) slices peeled and cored fresh pineapple, halved
  • 2 cups bite-size strips red sweet pepper
  • 2 cups sliced red onions
  • 1 fresh jalapeño chile pepper, halved lengthwise, seeded and sliced (see tip)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon jamaican jerk seasoning
  • ½ cup coarsely snipped fresh cilantro
  • 1 ⅓ cups hot cooked brown rice
  • lime wedges
Directions:
  1. Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line two 15x10-inch baking pans with foil.
  2. Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails intact if desired. Rinse shrimp; pat dry. In an extra-large bowl combine shrimp and the next six ingredients (through jerk seasoning); toss gently to coat. Divide mixture between the prepared pans. Roast 15 minutes or until shrimp are opaque.
  3. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with brown rice and lime wedges.
