Sheet pan dinners are the best because they come together quickly and you don’t have to do dishes all night!

The idea for Jessica’s Mediterranean shrimp dinner came from having too many heads of fennel in her refrigerator.

This dish ends up creating its own delicious sauce that you can soak up with a baguette.
