Because September is National Cholesterol Awareness Month, I am sharing a recipe with you using Mazola Corn Oil. A clinical study showed Mazola®Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, see Mazola.com

Not only is this delicious Sheet Pan Shrimp Primavera an appropriate dish to make for National Cholesterol Awareness month, but I also made this meal nutritious by swapping out a few ingredients from traditional pasta primavera.

1. This dish has no pasta. And since there are so many roasted vegetables that are so flavorful, and almost sweet, you won’t miss the pasta. I promise.
2. This Primavera has no cream sauce and is just sprinkled with garlic and herbs instead.
3. I roasted these vegetables in Mazola Corn Oil instead of butter or olive oil.

In Italian, Primavera means spring, and so when the dish Pasta Primavera was first developed, it was meant to be a dish using spring vegetables. You can use as many vegetables as you like in your sheet pan primavera. I say the more, the merrier! You don’t need to stick to just spring vegetables either!

I like to turn the oven hot when I roast vegetables. I love my veggies almost charred. It is a good thing that Mazola Corn oil has a smoking point that is much higher than other oils, at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, Mazola Corn Oil is an all-purpose, cholesterol-free cooking oil that is a smart heart-healthy* choice for your family. *See Mazola.com for more information on the relationship between corn oil and heart health.

I made this meal for my husband and me to have for lunch. My kids picked at some of these vegetables too! It is impressive to see what healthy choices kids will make, given the opportunity.

I cooked the vegetables first, then added the shrimp to the sheet pan during the last few minutes of cook time.

I promise that you won’t miss the pasta or the cream sauce that one might find in restaurant pasta primavera. This recipe is filled with lots of fresh, beautiful ingredients. Just look at all the colors!
