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.

This was FABULOUS!! I don’t cook and my husband and 2 college kids devoured it and asked that I make it more often. My husband even said it was better than the meal we recently had at a high class golf club! I did use cooked shrimp and just added them the last five minutes. They were great, not rubbery. Very easy and super delicious!!
We will also be making our corn on the cob this way from now on with melted butter, garlic, Old Bay, and a short bake! Yum!!
I think everyone is making this recipe, and if they are not they should! When I went to the store, they were out of corn, almost out of shrimp, and out of the Old Bay Seasoning. It was a fun meal, and different from our usual meals. I’m sure I will make it again!
I have made this multiple times. It always gets rave reviews! And it’s pretty too! Thank you for posting!
This was so delicious! I halved the amount of Old Bay – wasn’t sure if it would be too spicy for the kids. We made three pans for 6 people and polished off most of it!
I have been using this recipe for over a year and everyone truly loves it! I use 16-20 shrimp and sprinkle a little extra Old Bay over everything just before going in the oven for a little added oomph.
But, tonight I am going to try it with boneless chicken chunks and see what it morphs into! Will let you know soon.
How did it come out when you use the chicken
Delicious. Made this tonight and my family LOVED it
fAMILY AND I LVED IT. sUPER EASY TO MAKE AND CLEAN UP IS A BREZE. S
Amazing! Season to taste and don’t forget the lemon.
I made this yesterday. It was fast, easy, delicious, beautiful, and clean up was a breeze. I forgot the parsley. But we didn’t miss it too much. I thought there would be some yummy pan drippings to mop up so I added a few thin slices of a toasted and lightly buttered rustic baguette after the sheet came out of the oven. Scattered a few of the lemon slices amongst the lovely mess of shrimp boil and squeezed a little over the top. Also, I lined the baking pan with parchment paper. We shared off of the same pan we baked on and used a lot of napkins. It was so buttery and delicious! If I close my eyes I can still taste the garlic a day later. Mmmmmm
I kind of simplified the recipe. I tossed the potatoes, corn and sausage in the butter mixture and put it in the oven for 15 minutes and then took it out and added the shrimp (also tossed in the butter mixture) for 8-10 more minutes. When I had cooked shrimp, I just put them in for 5 minutes and cooked the other stuff for about 20 minutes. When the potatoes are done, it is done. I also sliced an onion really thinly and added it with the potatoes. They really cook down to deliciousness. This is a wonderful way to make shrimp “boil.”
Has anyone tried this putting the pan on the grill?
Yes and it is amazing….just used an aluminum pan, covered with foil. Placed it on the grill. Payed the ingredients potatoes, sausage, corn then shrimp….we use a charcoal grill.
This recipe was amazing, and I give it a 10! I have the luck of a committed foodie because I often stumble across the most awesome of recipes. My latest find was this shrimp boil recipe. OMG!!! While I opted for smoked beef sausage, I
scored at my local Costco, I pretty much followed the recipe to the letter. My style of cooking is always flavor forward, and you can bet your taste buds this one was certainly no different, as my friends and family enjoyed every drop of buttery goodness. Totally damn delicious!
This recipe is awesome! A family favorite for sure. I love how simple it is!
This is an amazing and easy recipe! Thanks for sharing!
We made this and ate outside on the back deck! I shake my contents in a zip bag instead of drizzling the seasoning. Used XL wild caught Gulf shrimp and added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning. Delicious and way less mess!
I make this often but I Use small purple potatoes add onion, Cajun seasoning & this time, zucchini. Soooo good! I also steam the potatoes & corn partially, in a steam bag in the microwave first. That way they’re not undercooked & I’m not washing a big pot
Thank you for posting.. big hit!!
Loved this. My wife actually loved it much better than the boiled option. Of course, I made a few changes while following the basic intention. I cut white and sweet potatoes into smallish chunks and sliced a medium onion very thin. I mixed the potatoes, onion and the thinly sliced sausage in the butter and Old Bay seasoning. I then put that in the oven for about 12 minutes. Meanwhile, I made up a little more butter/Bay mix and applied it to the corn (We had corn last night so it was already cooked) and shrimp. When the time was up on the first stuff, I added the shrimp ( I had big ones) and corn and baked for another 15 minutes. It was amazing.
This is an amazing recipe! I will definitely make again and my husband can not stop telling me how much he enjoyed it! New family favorite!
Awesome! One of the best meals ever. I served it with corn bread muffins and hush puppies. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Change it a little mixed everything in a then put on baking sheets liked it better than first time, is great both ways
