This one-pan wonder brings together the savory depth of rosemary-roasted chicken with the sweet, delicate flavor of shrimp. The dish relies on simple, high-quality ingredients: a whole head of elephant garlic roasted until soft and sweet, fresh rosemary for an aromatic lift, and zesty lemon juice to cut through the richness. The chicken skin is removed for a lighter feel, allowing the herbs and oil to coat the meat directly, while the shrimp are added in the final minutes to ensure they remain tender and opaque. It’s a perfect solution for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings, offering a complete meal with minimal cleanup. The combination of texturesâÂÂcrispy chicken edges, soft garlic, and plump shrimpâÂÂcreates a satisfying and elegant plate that feels special without requiring hours of prep. Serve directly from the roasting pan for maximum flavor.

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450ðF (232ðC).
-
Separate the garlic head into individual cloves, removing any loose papery skin but leaving the cloves unpeeled.
-
In a large roasting pan (approximately 17" by 11 1/2"), toss the garlic cloves with 2 teaspoons of olive or salad oil.
-
Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil and roast the garlic for 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, remove the skin from all chicken pieces except the wings, and cut each breast piece in half.
-
In a large bowl, mix together rosemary, salt, lemon juice, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive or salad oil.
-
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss until well coated with the herb mixture.
-
Place the chicken in the roasting pan with the roasting garlic.
-
Roast uncovered for 15 minutes, basting the chicken once or twice with the pan drippings.
-
While the chicken roasts, use kitchen shears to cut along the back of each shrimp to expose the vein, keeping the shell intact.
-
Rinse each shrimp under running cold water to remove the vein, then pat dry with paper towels.
-
After the chicken has roasted for 15 minutes, add the shrimp to the pan, tossing to coat them with the drippings.
-
Roast for 10 minutes longer, uncovered, or until the shrimp are opaque throughout and the chicken juices run clear when pierced with a knife.
-
To serve, arrange the chicken, shrimp, and garlic on a platter and spoon the pan drippings over the top.
-
Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.
