Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 12 ounces andouille sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 ears corn, husked and cut into thirds (or frozen corn on the cob)
  • 1 pound red potatoes, quartered (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and position the rack in the center.
  2. Quarter the red potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread evenly on one side of a large rimmed sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp, sliced andouille sausage, and corn pieces. Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, remaining Old Bay seasoning, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the pan and push potatoes to one side. Spread the shrimp, sausage, and corn mixture on the other side in a single layer.
  5. Return the pan to the oven and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque and sausage edges are slightly crisp. Avoid overcooking shrimp.
  6. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

Line the sheet pan with foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup. Watch shrimp closely to avoid overcooking; they should curl into a loose ‘C’ shape when done. For extra crispy sausage edges, broil for the last 2 minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning. Potatoes should be tender before adding shrimp and sausage. Adjust cayenne pepper to control heat level. Use gluten-free sausage for a gluten-free version.
