What a week it has been! I know I am in definite need of the weekend to organize, sleep, workout, hang out and chill out!

This sheet pan supper is so easy, thanks to quick-cooking shrimp. Shrimp are probably one of the fastest proteins to whip up. If you know dinner’s going to be time-crunched, I suggest you plan on shrimp for the night.
It’s also 100% balanced. Can you spot my PVCF method of balancing your plate here?
There’s a combination of protein (shrimp), veggies (zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms), carbs (sweet potatoes), and healthy fats (oil).
A note on cooking times…
Since sweet potatoes take much longer to cook than the other ingredients, it’s important to cut them into small, bite-size pieces. You can also quicken up the cooking process by microwaving your sweet potatoes for a few minutes to “par-cook” them first.
