Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) shrimp, large, peeled and deveined
- 12 oz (340 g) smoked sausage, andouille or kielbasa, sliced
- 1 lb (454 g) baby potatoes, halved
- 2 ears corn, 2-inch pieces
- 3 tbsps olive oil
- 3 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 lemon, juice
- 2 tbsps fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Pan Preparation: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring complete surface coverage to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Vegetable Preparation: Chop potatoes into uniform bite-sized chunks and slice corn cobs into compact sections, creating consistent pieces for balanced cooking and appealing presentation.
- Seasoning Technique: Thoroughly coat potatoes and corn with olive oil, then generously season with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to infuse deep, robust flavors.
- Initial Roasting: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast seasoned vegetables for approximately 15 minutes, allowing them to develop a golden, crispy exterior and tender interior.
- Protein Integration: Slice andouille sausage into diagonal medallions and distribute evenly across partially roasted vegetables, introducing a smoky and spicy dimension to the dish.
- Shrimp Marination: Toss raw shrimp in a vibrant blend of olive oil, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, and additional Old Bay seasoning, ensuring complete and even coating.
- Final Roasting: Arrange marinated shrimp, sausage, and partially cooked vegetables on the sheet pan, returning to the oven for 8-10 minutes until shrimp transform to pink and opaque.
- Flavor Enhancement: Remove sheet pan from oven and immediately brighten the dish by drizzling fresh lemon juice across the entire surface, cutting through the richness.
- Presentation: Generously sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley over the sheet pan shrimp boil, adding visual appeal and a refreshing herbaceous note before serving hot with melted butter or cocktail sauce.
Notes
- Prep Ingredients Evenly: Cut vegetables and sausage into uniform sizes to ensure consistent cooking and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked or undercooked.
- Control Seasoning Intensity: Adjust Old Bay and spices according to personal taste preferences, starting with less and adding more to avoid overwhelming flavors.
- Monitor Shrimp Cooking Time: Watch shrimp closely during final roasting stage, removing immediately when they turn pink to prevent rubbery texture and maintain tenderness.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Swap andouille sausage with turkey sausage for lower-fat version or use plant-based sausage for vegetarian adaptation of the sheet pan boil.
