A sheet pan shrimp boil is a simplified, one-pan version of a traditional shrimp boil, making it easy to cook in the oven without a big pot. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
Ingredients
- Shrimp – peeled and deveined
- Corn on the cob – cut into thirds
- Baby potatoes – halved
- Andouille sausage or other smoked sausage – sliced
- Seasoning – Old Bay, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper
- Butter & lemon – for flavor
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prep veggies & sausage – toss potatoes in oil and seasonings, spread on a large sheet pan. Roast for ~15 minutes.
- Add corn and sausage – continue roasting another 10 minutes.
- Add shrimp – toss shrimp in butter, garlic, and seasonings, add to the sheet pan, and roast 5–7 minutes until pink and opaque.
- Finish with lemon & herbs – squeeze fresh lemon and sprinkle parsley before serving.
Tips
- Use parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Cut potatoes small so they cook at the same time as the shrimp.
- Optional: drizzle a little melted butter with minced garlic over everything for a rich, saucy finish.
This gives the classic shrimp boil flavors (spicy, buttery, garlicky) without needing a huge pot of boiling water.
If you want, I can also give a quick 30-minute version that maximizes flavor—perfect for busy weeknights. Do you want me to do that?
