Make a flavorful, low cleanup shrimp boil right on a sheet pan. This recipe combines shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes tossed in a simple garlic butter sauce seasoned with Old Bay seasoning for a quick, family-style seafood feast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 lb smoked sausage (like Andouille or Kielbasa), sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lb small red potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 4 ears of corn, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Old Bay Seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and salt. This is your garlic butter sauce.
  3. Place the potatoes and sausage pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle half of the garlic butter sauce over them and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Roast the potatoes and sausage for 15 minutes. This gives the potatoes a head start.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven. Add the corn pieces and the seasoned shrimp to the pan. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter sauce over everything and toss gently to coat.
  6. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  7. Serve the sheet pan shrimp boil immediately directly from the pan, with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the seafood.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture.
  • You can substitute the smoked sausage with chicken sausage if preferred.
  • If you do not have Old Bay Seasoning, use a blend of celery salt, paprika, dry mustard, and black pepper.
