Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed frozen)
- 12 ounces Andouille sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces (or kielbasa)
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
- 2 ears corn on the cob, cut into thirds (fresh or frozen)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste (sea salt preferred)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and halve the baby potatoes and cut the corn into thirds. Spread them out on a large rimmed sheet pan and drizzle with 1.5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, Old Bay seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well to blend.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp and sliced sausage to the seasoning mix. Drizzle the remaining 1.5 tablespoons olive oil over and toss until evenly coated.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven after the potatoes and corn have roasted for 20 minutes. Scatter the shrimp and sausage mixture evenly over the veggies. Return the pan to the oven.
- Roast for an additional 10-12 minutes until shrimp turn pink and curl slightly, sausage edges caramelize, and potatoes and corn are tender.
- Check for doneness: potatoes should be fork-tender, shrimp fully opaque, and sausage sizzling. If needed, roast 2-3 minutes more, watching closely.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
To save time, parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting if desired. Pat shrimp dry before seasoning to help spices stick. Toss gently to avoid tearing shrimp. Space ingredients well on the pan to avoid steaming. For extra smoky flavor, add smoked sea salt or liquid smoke to seasoning. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 2 days; reheat in oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to maintain texture.
