An easy, flavorful seafood feast made on one sheet pan with shrimp, potatoes, corn, and smoked sausage tossed in bold spices and roasted to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 lb baby red potatoes, halved
  • 2 ears corn on the cob, cut into thirds
  • 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced (Andouille or kielbasa recommended)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved baby red potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes.
  3. While potatoes roast, mix minced garlic, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
  4. After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Add corn chunks and sliced smoked sausage to the pan. Drizzle the seasoning butter over everything and toss gently to coat.
  5. Roast for another 10 minutes.
  6. Toss the shrimp in the remaining seasoning butter mixture to coat evenly.
  7. Remove the pan again, place the shrimp on top of the veggies, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and spread out so shrimp aren’t overlapping.
  8. Roast for 8-10 minutes more, until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
  9. Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm straight from the pan.

Notes

Pre-roasting potatoes ensures they cook evenly without overcooking the shrimp. Use melted butter for richer flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan for better caramelization. Watch shrimp closely during final roasting to prevent rubberiness. Leftovers keep well for 2 days and taste even better after resting overnight.
