Lemon Garlic Shrimp with Chickpeas


Flavorful Lemon Garlic Shrimp with Chickpeas easily made in under 30 minutes all on one pan with just a few simple ingredients!  Perfect as an appetizer, on top of a salad or even as a main dish!


Ingredients:

For the chickpeas:

  • 2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed and patted dry

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil, divided

  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the shrimp:

  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, optional

  • 1/3 cup parsley, chopped     


Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Rinse and drain the chickpeas, making sure to pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss the chickpeas with one tablespoon each of olive oil and lemon juice and season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. 

Arrange chick peas in an even layer on a large sheet pan and bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. For crispier chickpeas, bake for 25 to 30 minutes. 

Meanwhile, toss the shrimp with one tablespoon of olive oil, juice of one lemon (about 2 tablespoons), garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a large bowl making sure the shrimp are evenly coated. Allow the shrimp mixture to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes while the chickpeas are cooking. 

Once the chickpeas have finished roasting, spread the marinated shrimp over the roasted chickpeas and place a few lemon slices over top (this is optional, but gives more lemon flavor.) Return the sheet pan back into the oven and roast an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Shrimp should be pink in color and opaque. 

Once the shrimp and chickpeas are done cooking, squeeze a little extra lemon juice overtop and garnish with fresh parsley.
