Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb (454 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 oz (340 g) smoked sausage (andouille or kielbasa), sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 lb (454 g) baby potatoes, halved
- 2 ears corn, cut into 2-inch pieces
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the baking surface by lining a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Cut potatoes into bite-sized chunks and slice corn cobs into smaller sections, creating uniform pieces for even cooking and better presentation.
- Massage potatoes and corn with olive oil, sprinkling Old Bay seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to infuse robust flavors throughout the vegetables.
- Roast the seasoned potatoes and corn in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven, allowing them to develop a golden exterior and tender interior for approximately 15 minutes.
- Slice andouille sausage into diagonal medallions, distributing them evenly across the partially roasted vegetables to introduce a smoky, spicy element.
- Toss raw shrimp in a vibrant marinade combining olive oil, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, and additional Old Bay seasoning, ensuring each morsel is thoroughly coated.
- Arrange marinated shrimp across the sheet pan alongside sausage and partially cooked vegetables, returning to the oven for a final 8-10 minute roasting until shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and immediately brighten the dish by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the entire surface, cutting through the richness.
- Garnish generously with finely chopped fresh parsley, adding a pop of color and herbaceous note to the sheet pan shrimp boil.
- Serve piping hot, accompanied by extra melted butter or zesty cocktail sauce for dipping, creating an interactive and flavorful dining experience.
Notes
- Perfectly time the ingredients to ensure even cooking, with potatoes and corn starting first since they take longer to roast compared to shrimp and sausage.
- Use parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup and to prevent any sticky residue on your baking sheet.
- Modify seasoning levels by adjusting Old Bay quantity to match personal spice preferences or dietary restrictions.
- Select fresh, high-quality shrimp and opt for wild-caught varieties for more robust flavor and better texture when baking.
