I was in search of a little sheet pan inspiration recently, and found a recipe that I liked but lacked
a few ingredients—so I improvised and was thrilled with the results. This recipe is nutritious,
easy to make, and alpha-gal friendly. Don’t feel shy about using different vegetables or adjusting the ingredients to your liking—experimentation makes food fun!
Ingredients:
1 lb raw tiger shrimp
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1 bunch Kale, roughly chopped
3/4 red onion, cut into thin slices
1 zucchini, sliced into thin quarters
3 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1 lemon, cut into halves
6-7 kalamata olives, sliced
Salt, pepper to your liking (I like to go heavy on the pepper) Italian seasoning to taste (I like to add some additional oregano OR basil—but not both)
Marinated artichoke hearts and cherry tomatoes also make a nice addition
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425°F
In large bowl, mix kale, red onion slices, kalamata olives, zucchini, 1⁄2 of the minced garlic,
lemon juice from 1⁄2 lemon. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, salt and pepper, and a couple of dashes of the
herbs. Toss well.
In a separate bowl, add peeled and deveined tiger shrimp (pat w/ a paper towel to remove
moisture), the remaining garlic, juice from remaining half of the lemon, remaining olive oil, salt
and pepper to taste, and a couple dashes of the herbs. Toss.
While your shrimp is marinating, add vegetable mixture to an 8x8 glass baking dish. Cover with
aluminum foil and cook for 8-10 minutes, then remove from oven.
Add just a light drizzle of olive oil to the dish, and add marinated shrimp. Cover in aluminum
foil and return to the oven for 6 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and cook another 8 minutes, or
until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Serve immediately and enjoy!
As mentioned, this dish is alpha-gal safe. If consuming dairy is not a concern for you, consider
topping with a few crumbles of feta cheese.
