Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 (12.8-ounce) package smoked andouille sausage (thinly sliced)
Vegetables and Starches:
- 1 pound baby Dutch yellow potatoes
- 3 ears corn (each cut crosswise into 6 pieces)
- 1 lemon (cut into wedges)
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F, ensuring a hot environment that will create golden-brown edges and crisp textures for the entire dish.
- Prepare potatoes by submerging them in salted boiling water, cooking for 10-13 minutes until just tender. Add corn during the final 5 minutes of boiling to prevent overcooking.
- Create a flavor-packed butter mixture by melting butter and incorporating minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, and optional lemon zest for enhanced brightness.
- Arrange drained potatoes, corn, shrimp, and sausage on a baking sheet, ensuring ingredients are evenly distributed and not overcrowded.
- Drizzle the seasoned butter over the ingredients, gently tossing to ensure complete coating and uniform flavor distribution.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, monitoring shrimp closely to prevent overcooking. Shrimp should turn pink and become opaque, while sausage edges brown and corn becomes tender.
- Remove from oven and immediately garnish with fresh lemon wedges to add a bright, tangy contrast to the rich, savory components.
- Optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley for a vibrant visual and flavor accent, then serve immediately while hot and at peak deliciousness.
Notes
- Parboil potatoes just until tender to ensure they don’t become mushy during baking, maintaining a delightful texture and preventing them from falling apart.
- Watch shrimp closely during cooking, as they can quickly go from perfectly cooked to rubbery – aim for a pink, opaque appearance with no translucent spots.
- Experiment with different herb blends or spice mixes like Cajun seasoning to customize the flavor profile and match personal taste preferences.
- Swap sausage for turkey sausage or plant-based alternatives to make the dish lighter or vegetarian-friendly, ensuring everyone can enjoy this delicious sheet pan meal.
