How to Make Steak, Shrimp, Corn & Broccoli Tray Meal

1. Prepare the Tray

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.

2. Season the Steak

1. Toss steak strips with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Spread them onto one side of the tray.

Tip:
Cut all steak pieces roughly the same size so they cook evenly.

3. Season the Vegetables

1. In a bowl, mix broccoli and corn with olive oil, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Spread them on the opposite side of the tray.

4. Bake the Tray

1. Bake for 12–14 minutes, until steak is almost cooked through and veggies start to brown.

Tip:
Keep everything in a single layer so it roasts instead of steaming.

5. Prepare the Shrimp

1. While the tray bakes, mix shrimp with melted butter, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

6. Add the Shrimp

1. Remove the tray from the oven.
2. Add shrimp to the center of the tray.
3. Return to the oven and bake 6–8 minutes more, until shrimp turn pink and curl.

7. Serve

1. Drizzle with garlic butter or chimichurri if you want extra flavor.
2. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives.
3. Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy.

Tips for Success

• Use large shrimp — smaller shrimp may overcook quickly.
• Dry the steak well before seasoning to get better browning.
• Rotate the tray halfway through baking for even cooking.
• Add potatoes if you want extra starch — cut them small and roast from the start.
• Serve immediately for best texture, especially for shrimp.

Equipment Needed

• Large sheet pan
• Mixing bowls
• Tongs or spatula

• Sharp knife for trimming and slicing steak

Recipe Variations

• Low-Carb Version: Replace corn with bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a fresh green salad or coleslaw.
