Make a flavorful shrimp boil with minimal cleanup using this simple sheet pan method. This recipe combines shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound smoked sausage (like kielbasa), sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 pound small red potatoes, quartered
  • 1 pound fresh corn on the cob, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning blend
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges for serving
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes and sausage. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Toss to coat. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake the potatoes and sausage for 15 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes bake, prepare the garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the corn pieces to the sheet and toss them with some of the garlic butter sauce. Return the sheet to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes.
  6. Add the seasoned shrimp to the baking sheet, distributing them evenly among the other ingredients. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter sauce over everything.
  7. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Do not overcook the shrimp.
  8. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of Cajun seasoning or add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the butter sauce.
  • You can substitute the smoked sausage with Andouille sausage for a more authentic Cajun flavor.
  • If you prefer a Low Country style boil, boil the potatoes and corn separately until tender before tossing them with the shrimp and sauce on the sheet pan.
