Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 15 oz cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil divided (1 Tbsp for chickpeas, 1 Tbsp for shrimp)
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice for chickpeas
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt for chickpeas
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper for chickpeas
  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice about 1 lemon, for shrimp
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp black pepper for shrimp
  • 1/2 tsp salt for shrimp
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/3 cup parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Sheet Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Spatula or tongs
  • Paper Towels
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment or lightly oil it.
  2. Pat the drained chickpeas dry with paper towels; in a bowl toss them with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the chickpeas in an even layer on the prepared sheet pan and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp to your liking; stir once halfway through if they are crowded.
  4. While chickpeas roast, combine the shrimp with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, minced garlic, 1 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a large bowl; toss to coat and let marinate 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. When the chickpeas are done, spread the marinated shrimp over them in a single layer and optionally top with lemon slices; return the pan to the oven and roast 8 to 10 minutes, until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  6. Remove from the oven, squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Pat chickpeas very dry to help them crisp.
  • Marinate shrimp briefly—10 to 15 minutes is enough.
  • Roast chickpeas 25–30 minutes for extra crispness.
  • Check shrimp at 8 minutes to avoid overcooking.
