Main Ingredients
- 1 pound medium or large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 ounces smoked sausage (andouille or kielbasa), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 pound baby red or gold potatoes, halved
- 3 ears corn, husked and cut into thirds
Butter Seasoning
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning (plus extra for serving, optional)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep – Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Parboil the Potatoes – Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the halved potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, until just barely tender. Drain well and set aside. (This ensures the potatoes are cooked through when roasted.)
- Assemble the Sheet Pan – Spread the parboiled potatoes, corn pieces, and sliced sausage evenly over the sheet pan. Drizzle with about half of the melted butter and oil mixture, sprinkle with half the Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast, Then Add Shrimp – Roast the pan for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the shrimp with the remaining butter, oil, garlic, Old Bay, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. After 15 minutes, add the seasoned shrimp evenly over the pan and roast 8-10 more minutes until shrimp are just opaque and pink.
- Serve – Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, squeeze over lemon juice, and serve straight from the pan with extra Old Bay and more lemon wedges as desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp—they turn rubbery quickly!
- Switch up proteins: try turkey sausage or veggie sausage for a lighter or vegetarian version.
- Pre-cooking the potatoes is the key to perfectly tender results.
- You can swap Old Bay with Cajun seasoning for a spicier kick.
- For easy cleanup, line the pan with foil or parchment paper.
