This easy sheet pan shrimp boil brings all the classic flavors of a Southern shrimp boil—juicy shrimp, smoky sausage, sweet corn, and tender potatoes—together on one pan for a quick, fuss-free family dinner. Roasted with Old Bay, garlic, and lemon, it’s a crowd-pleasing meal ready in under 40 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds large shrimp (16/20 count, peeled and deveined)
  • 1 pound baby red potatoes, quartered
  • 2 large ears corn on the cob, each cut into 4 pieces (or 2 cups frozen corn chunks)
  • 12 ounces smoked sausage (andouille or kielbasa), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning (or Cajun blend)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 large lemon, cut into wedges, plus juice from half a lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • Optional: 1 zucchini, chopped
  • Optional: Additional melted butter for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Parboil potatoes: Place quartered potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine Old Bay seasoning, minced garlic, juice from half a lemon, and olive oil (or melted butter). Whisk until blended.
  4. Add parboiled potatoes, corn chunks, and sliced sausage to the bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread potatoes, corn, and sausage in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
  6. While veggies roast, pat shrimp dry. Toss shrimp with a pinch of Old Bay and a drizzle of oil.
  7. After 15 minutes, remove sheet pan from oven. Scatter shrimp evenly over the top. Return to oven and roast another 8-10 minutes, until shrimp are pink and opaque and potatoes are golden.
  8. Squeeze fresh lemon over the hot shrimp boil. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and drizzle with melted butter if desired.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with extra lemon wedges.

Notes

Parboiling potatoes ensures perfect texture. Thaw and blot shrimp before roasting to avoid sogginess. For crispier sausage or potatoes, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end. You can prep potatoes and veggies ahead for faster assembly. Swap in extra veggies or use gluten-free sausage for dietary needs.
