Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail on or off, as preferred)

  • 1 lb smoked sausage or Andouille sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces

  • 4 medium potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes (or baby potatoes, halved)

  • 4 ears of corn on the cob, cut into halves or thirds

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning (or your favorite seafood seasoning)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven:

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

  2. Prepare the potatoes:

    • In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly on the sheet pan.

  3. Roast the potatoes:

    • Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. This will help them start to cook and get tender before adding the other ingredients.

  4. Prepare the sausage and corn:

    • While the potatoes are roasting, toss the sausage slices and corn pieces with another tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning. Season with a little salt and pepper, and set aside.

  5. Add sausage, corn, and shrimp:

    • After the potatoes have roasted for 20 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the sausage and corn to the pan, spreading them out evenly. Drizzle a little more olive oil over everything. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the corn is tender and the sausage starts to brown.

  6. Add the shrimp:

    • In the same bowl you used for the potatoes, toss the shrimp with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. After the sausage and corn have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the seasoned shrimp to the pan, spreading them out evenly.

  7. Finish roasting:

    • Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast everything for another 7-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through (they’ll turn opaque). Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

  8. Serve:

    • Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything, and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color and flavor.

  9. Enjoy:

    • Serve the shrimp boil straight from the pan or transfer it to a large serving platter. You can serve it with extra lemon wedges and dipping sauces (like melted butter or cocktail sauce) on the side for extra flavor.

Tips:

  • Add extras: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or even mushrooms to the sheet pan.

  • Make it spicy: If you like more heat, increase the cayenne pepper or add some hot sauce to the mix.

  • Serving: This dish is delicious served with crusty bread or over rice to soak up all the flavorful juices.

This Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil is easy, delicious, and great for a casual family dinner or a small gathering. Plus, the cleanup is a breeze since everything cooks on one sheet pan! Enjoy!
