Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and color to your shrimp bake. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, corn, and potatoes.
Season the shrimp and vegetables well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
Use a flavorful cooking liquid. This could be chicken broth, vegetable broth, white wine, or even beer. The cooking liquid will help to infuse the shrimp and vegetables with flavor.
Cook the shrimp and vegetables until they are just done. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy. Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
