Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
2. Add the red onion, bell pepper, asparagus, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and olives to the sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat and spread into an even layer.
3. Roast the vegetables for 8 minutes.
4. While the vegetables roast, pat the shrimp completely dry. Place them in a bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
5. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and gently stir the vegetables. Arrange the shrimp evenly among the vegetables.
6. Return to the oven and roast for another 6–7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with crumbled feta and chopped parsley, if using. Serve immediately.
