If you’ve followed me here over the years, you know I have a serious love affair with shrimp. Packed with lean protein, these nuggets of sea gold are a wonderfully tasty addition to just about any meal. But I have to say, I’ve just slightly outdone myself with this clean eating sheet pan pineapple shrimp recipe. This was so crazy delicious!!
This is the last recipe in my Weekend Prep Meals seafood series. 5 quick and easy recipes to prep for the freezer in minutes (if you don’t want to cook them right away), and they cook up fast in the oven too!
I served mine over riced cauliflower, but brown rice works well here too. A very delicious and satisfying meal!

Sheet Pan Pineapple Shrimp Recipe
CLICK TO WATCH THIS RECIPE IN ACTION!
Equipment
- Sheet pan
Ingredients
- 1 lb. pre-cooked, frozen, colossal shrimp
- 1 cup fresh or frozen, chopped bell peppers
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. ground black pepper
- 20 oz. can pineapple chunks in juice (no sugar added – drain juice – do not use)
Instructions
- FOR FREEZER: Place all ingredients in a 1 gallon zipper-top, plastic bag and toss to combine. Freeze up to 4 months.
- FOR DINNER: Add 1/4 cup oil to the bag and toss well to coat. Don worry, much of it will cook off durning cooking. Place all ingredients straight from frozen onto a baking pan.
- Bake at 375 F. for approximately 30-40 minutes (varies by oven). You may have to stir a time or two during cooking so that any frozen chunks get broken up for more even cooking.
- Serve as is, or over cooked brown rice or riced cauliflower for a complete meal.

Can i use fresh pineapple?
The Gracious Pantry says
Melissa – Yes 🙂
kaelen says
will it make a difference if the pineapple/peppers are room temp and the shrimp is frozen? should i adjust cook time?
The Gracious Pantry says
Kaelen – It shouldn’t. But if it concerns you, you can cook the shrimp and stir the pineapple and peppers in a bit afterwards. Should work okay though.
Lin says
Why is the cholesterol SO crazy high in this recipe???
The Gracious Pantry says
Lin – I did find a typo. Sorry about that. It’s 185, not 285. I’m not sure where it comes from though, my calculator doesn’t tell me that information. I do know that most meats are high in cholesterol, but shrimp is usually pretty low. It could be a glitch in my calculator, which is why I always post that the data is a ballpark figure. There is no way for me to give you exact data. Maybe try entering it into another online calculator and see what you get? Sorry I can’t be more help…
jess says
has anyone tried this with fresh garlic instead of garlic powder?
The Gracious Pantry says
Jess – You can do that! The sub would be 6 cloves. Let me know how you like it! 🙂
Chris says
On the video it shows adding oil before cooking. The printed recipe doesn’t say anything about oil. Is it required? How much? Thanks.
The Gracious Pantry says
Chris – Sorry about that! All fixed!
Rhonda says
If I cook the frozen shrimp separately first, then add the room temperature pineapples & peppers, do I still have to bake it for 40 minutes or can I cook it all on the stove in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet?
The Gracious Pantry says
Rhonda – If I understand the question correctly, you could either bake it just until it’s warm, or on the stove top. Either way.
Yoided Briggs says
What can I use instead of the pepper?
They upset my stomach ?
Thank you?
The Gracious Pantry says
Yoided – I haven’t tried it myself, but I think purple onions would be a good substitute, if you can have them.
Yoided says
It looks delicious !?
The Gracious Pantry says
Yoided – Thank you! 🙂
Kathy says
Looks so amazing! Quick question, if I double the recipe would you recommend also doubling the oil?
Thanks!
The Gracious Pantry says
Kathy – I want to say yes, but that does seem like a lot of oil. I would measure out all of it and just add oil until you think it has enough. I wouldn’t overdo it. A 1/2 a cup would be a lot, but the recipe may need it. I haven’t doubled it myself, so I can’t be sure. The one thing to remember with sheet pan dinners is that you don’t end up eating all the oil anyway. A lot stays on the pan.
