Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil Recipe

Introduction

This Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil is a vibrant, fuss-free way to enjoy all the classic flavors of a traditional shrimp boil in one easy dish. With tender potatoes, sweet corn, smoky sausage, and perfectly cooked shrimp, it’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or casual gathering.

Ingredients

• 1 pound baby Dutch yellow potatoes
• 3 ears corn (each cut crosswise into 6 pieces)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
• 1 pound medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 (12.8-ounce) package smoked andouille sausage (thinly sliced)
• 1 lemon (cut into wedges)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
2. Step 2: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook potatoes until just tender and parboiled, about 10-13 minutes. Stir in corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking time; then drain well.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and Old Bay seasoning.
4. Step 4: Place potatoes, corn, shrimp, and sausage in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Pour the butter mixture over and gently toss to combine everything evenly.
5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and corn is tender.
6. Step 6: Serve immediately with lemon wedges and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture or serve with hot sauce.
• Swap smoked andouille sausage with kielbasa or chorizo for a different flavor profile.
• Use frozen shrimp if fresh is unavailable, but thaw completely and pat dry before cooking.
• Cook potatoes and corn just until tender to avoid overcooking during baking.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 350 degrees F until warm, or in a microwave for 1-2 minutes. Shrimp can become rubbery if overcooked, so reheat carefully.

FAQs

Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?

Yes, frozen shrimp works well. Just be sure to thaw them completely and pat dry before assembling the sheet pan to prevent excess moisture.

What can I substitute if I don’t have Old Bay seasoning?

You can use a mix of paprika, celery seed, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne as a homemade substitute. Alternatively, Cajun or Creole seasoning can also add great flavor.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Vegetables

• 1 pound baby Dutch yellow potatoes
• 3 ears corn, each cut crosswise into 6 pieces
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Seafood and Meat

• 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 (12.8-ounce) package smoked andouille sausage, thinly sliced

Seasonings and Others

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
2. Parboil potatoes and corn: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby Dutch yellow potatoes and cook for about 10 to 13 minutes until just tender. Add the corn pieces in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Once done, drain the potatoes and corn well.
3. Prepare garlic butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix well to create a flavorful sauce.
4. Assemble on sheet pan: Arrange the parboiled potatoes, corn, peeled and deveined shrimp, and thinly sliced andouille sausage in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over everything and gently toss to evenly coat all the ingredients.
5. Bake the dish: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the shrimp turn opaque and the corn is tender, indicating everything is cooked through and flavorful.
6. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

• Make sure not to overcook the shrimp; they should turn opaque and firm but not rubbery.
• Use smoked andouille sausage for the best depth of flavor, but kielbasa or other smoked sausages can be substituted.
• Parboiling the potatoes and corn before baking helps ensure even cooking and tender textures.
• For extra spice, sprinkle additional Old Bay seasoning on top before baking.
• This recipe can easily be doubled for larger groups using two sheet pans.
