Easiest shrimp boil ever! And it’s mess-free using a single sheet pan. That’s right. ONE PAN. No newspapers. No bags. No clean-up!

When sweet corn is in season, I make this every two weeks, double the recipe and we all fight over the leftovers.
This makes me think of summers by the ocean.
I have a hot date waiting for me. With four short legs. Massive ears. And a sweater vest. Yes. My Valentine’s date tonight is Butters. And we’ll be staying in, away from the crowds, the flowers and the jewelry.
Instead, we have this. And it’s better than roses or a blue Tiffany box. It comes on a single sheet pan with shrimp, smoked andouille sausage, baby Dutch yellow potatoes and corn. Plus, there’s plenty of butter and garlic with minimal clean up here.
Thank you, sheet pan dinner.
So maybe it worked out that I didn’t have a human date tonight. Because Butters doesn’t discriminate against garlic breath.
tips and tricks for success
- Parboil the potatoes and corn ahead of time. Parts of this recipe can be made ahead of time for an even speedier weeknight dinner. Parboil the potatoes and corn 1-2 days in advance, placing them in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Serve with crusty bread. Serve with all the homemade crusty bread for dipping, sopping and dunking!
- Reheat in the oven. Leftover shrimp can be rubbery when reheated in the microwave. For best results with leftovers, reheat in the oven at 425°F, covered in aluminum foil until warmed through.

Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil: Frequently Asked Questions
I recommend thawing frozen shrimp overnight, transferring it from the freezer to the fridge the day before. For a quick thaw, you can run them under cold water until completely thawed, about 5-10 minutes. Pat them dry as thoroughly as possible to remove any excess moisture (so they can brown nicely and evenly).
Absolutely! To cut down on prep time, the potatoes and corn can be parboiled ahead of time and placed in an airtight container in the fridge.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.

Quickly became a family favorite– It’s delicious and easy!
Kids and husband loved it. It was super easy and there were zero leftovers. Will definitely make again. Thanks so much!!
I have to say that it’s “DAMNDELICIOUS”
Made this tonight for the family and it was easy and delicious! Used Kiolbassa organic smoked beef sausages (from Costco) instead of andouille to tone down the spice and the kids loved it.
Made this for guests yesterday- super easy and delicious !
Made this tonight and it’s delicious!
Excellent and really easy! Definitely going to be a good one to keep handy. I did substitute smoked sausage for the andouille as my friend does not like spicy foods.
Easy to make and so delicious!!! My whole family (including one picky eater) loved this dish. Thank you!
This dis was very easy , and didnt take long to make it came out wonderful now I have another go to .
This. Was. So. Good!!! Thank you! My family loved it. I tripled the butter mixture because we love extra 🙂 And I added eggs. Next time I think I will pan sear the sausage just a bit before adding in and cut the potatoes in half. We really enjoyed this. Thank you!
Saw this video and went and bought the ingredients the next day! Really liked how quick, easy, and tasty this was. I added onions to the boil and they were perfect…all soft and yummy with the Old Bay. Will make this again and again.
So my daughter wanted a seafood boil for her birthday and I found this recipe. I doubled the it and also added crab claws. They were fully cooked and frozen, so I thawed them out, drained all the water, and then added them in with the rest. Because of my and my son’s shrimp allergy, I cooked them separately. I used beef smoked sausage, as we had some non-pork eaters. Everyone LOVED it and clean-up was a breeze. I did have to make more of the butter mixture because it didn’t seem like enough. And I sprinkled a little extra Old Bay and some Tony Chachere’s Cajun seasoning all over before putting in the oven. Next time I’d cut the potatoes in half. I used baby reds and, left whole, they didn’t have enough flavor. Served with roasted broccoli and cheddar biscuits. My youngest said, “This tastes immaculate! You gotta make this again!”
I wrote a review but forgot to mark my stars. 5+!
O. M. G. This was absolutely delicious. I didn’t change anything. My daughter doesn’t eat pork or beef so I used chicken andouille sausage. Someone mentioned the butter mixture sank to the bottom so I mixed half the butter mix with everything in a large bowl, spread it on the sheet pan, and poured the other half of the butter mix over the top. Came out perfectly. Everyone loved it. Definitely a keeper!
Great recipe! So good!!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I made it for the fourth of July . It was absolutely delicious. I added scallops, and crab legs too. It was so flavorful and our grandkids loved it too.❤️
How long did you cook it with the crab legs? What type of crap legs?
Wondering the same. Any time modifications for the crab legs? I plan on making this tomorrow, adding already cooked but frozen crab claws.
Yum!
My Old Bay was older than my children, so I asked the Google gods and got a home made version. That was the only change I made to this recipe. Anyone who knows me would be shocked at that revelation. Simple is good. One small change is I used another bowl to mix the ingredients instead of trying to make sure all were throughly seasoned by just using the pan. Make this, you’ll love it.
I really like this because you can tailor the amounts depending on how many people you want to serve. It’s also kid friendly since they can pick out just the items they like. I have made it both on the grill and in the oven. I do swap out smoked sausage for the andouille but if I know my guests like it hot, I will get the andouille for them.
This was really good! I made it last night and everything was tender and buttery and it was easy! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the corn is hard to cut in peices as shown but you can also just snap some of it in pieces too. Also I dont know if anybody else had this problem but the sauce didnt distribute well? I think my sheet pan was too small maybe and I didnt have enough room to really mix it well enough so all the sauce was on the bottom of the pan and I couldnt really taste it on the meat and veggies. I also halved the old bay because I wasnt sure of the spice level of it but next time I will use all of it. I could tell this would be delicious and it was just need to figure out how to get the sauce to stick on it.I think I will toss it all in a bowl next time instead of pouring it over it.
I love this recipe, perfect mix of flavors, my husband dies every time I make it. thanks for sharing it!
Tips- I had to cook the potatoes longer than listed time. I figured the oven would soften them but it doesn’t, it’s just to warm and bake it all. So make sure you boil the potatoes a bit longer if a knife doesn’t easily slide through them.
2. I love making red lobster biscuits with this meal. Perfection
