- Roast for 10-12 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender-crisp.
- While the vegetables roast, combine the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a medium bowl, tossing to coat evenly.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the seasoned shrimp, arranging it in a single layer among the vegetables.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are tender.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
