A quick and easy sheet pan shrimp boil featuring crispy shrimp, smoky sausage, tender potatoes, and corn, all roasted together for a flavorful and fuss-free dinner in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 12 oz andouille or smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved (Yukon gold or red potatoes)
  • 2 ears corn on the cob, cut into 2-inch pieces (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes and corn pieces with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Roast the potatoes and corn for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. While the potatoes roast, in a separate bowl, combine the shrimp and sliced sausage with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat well.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the shrimp and sausage mixture evenly over the roasted potatoes and corn.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 8–10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until shrimp are pink and slightly crispy and sausage is browned.
  7. Check for doneness: potatoes should be tender, shrimp opaque and firm, sausage browned. Roast 2-3 more minutes if needed, watching carefully to avoid overcooking shrimp.
  8. Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything. Toss gently to combine and serve straight from the pan.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning and crispiness. Use tongs to gently turn shrimp halfway through roasting to prevent tearing. Leftovers reheat best in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to maintain crispiness. Swap sausage for chicken sausage for a leaner option or use gluten-free sausage to keep it allergen-friendly.
