Sheet Pan Solution for Quick Weeknight Meals
When life gets hectic, busy or overwhelming, the idea of making a meal can feel exhausting. I totally get it. There are long days when I can’t look or even think about food by the time dinner rolls around. But on the days when I feel a good homemade meal is what my body needs and I don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, sheet pan dinners come to the rescue. Dinner doesn’t get much easier than a sheet pan dinner. Throw everything on a sheet, toss in the oven and voila! Dinner done! And if you choose to line the baking sheets with parchment paper, cleanup is a breeze! Winning all around!
Meal Prep Tips for Carribean Shrimp Tacos
These tacos come together pretty quickly, but here are some other tips to get the most out of this easy sheet pan meal:
- Shred the cabbage the night before and store in airtight container. If you’re able to snag some in the grocery, a faster solution is to buy pre-shredded cabbage or store-bought packaged slaw.
- Measure and mix the spices ahead of time. Or make a large batch of the spice blend to keep in the spice pantry for the next time you make these tacos or want a Caribbean flavored dish.
- Shrimp cooks up quickly, so it’s a great protein option for a speedy meal. You could also try using sliced chicken breast or thigh. Just account for longer baking time.
- To warm the tortillas, wrap a stack in foil and place in the oven after the pineapple and veggies are done broiling. They will warm as the oven cools down. By the time you’re ready to serve, they’ll be ready to go.
