Ingredients

1/2 pound cherry tomatoes I used on the vine (apx. 250grams)
2 ounces red onion cut into wedges or(60g)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil separated
1 tablespoon butter melted
4 cloves garlic
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon black pepper cracked
1 pound raw shrimp peeled or (apx. 450 grams) if frozen see above
1 teaspoon paprika smoked (or to taste)
12 slices pepperoni

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 355F / 180C / 160 fan.
Place the tomatoes and onion on a non-stick baking tray and carefully toss with 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tbsp of melted butter, garlic cloves, thyme, and half of the salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, butterfly the peeled shrimp. If you’re not sure on how to do this, see this video here.
Place in a bowl and toss with the paprika and rest of the salt and pepper. Add the pepperoni and shrimp to the tray and toss to combine. Bake for 3 more minutes.
Drain the juices from pan into a tall cup. Remove 1 garlic clove and about 4 tomatoes from the tray then place the pan back in oven for about 5 minutes to crisp up the pepperoni and cook the shrimp to your liking.
Meanwhile, blend the juices with the reserved 4 tomatoes and 1 clove of garlic (skin removed) using an immersion blender. Add these juices to a pan and simmer for about 5 minutes to concentrate and thicken.
Toss / drizzle the sauce over the sheet pan to serve plus 2 tbsp olive oil, optional fresh thyme leaves and cracked black pepper.
Storage: Fridge in a Tupperware for up to 3 days
