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 meal never disappoints!!! I cut the old bay in half (It’s fine with the whole tablespoon I just prefer it this way!) and added a whole onion before baking! I’ve made this several times now and can’t get enough!!!!
Yummy !!!!! I paired it with salad and it was a hit!!!
So easy and SO TASTY! Love to make on a cold winter night with family gathered around. Gives us hope that summer is coming!
Flavorful + Quick + Simple + one pan = Phenomenal!
Absolutely Love this simple crowd pleaser ❤️
Great dish! We loved it 🙂
Can’t wait to try today. If doubling on all items. Should I double up on butter sauce? Want to make sure it won’t be over seasoned
My fav recipe
Hi there! I apologize if this question was already asked. Is it possible to make this recipe and freeze it ahead of time? If so, what would you suggest for this and for what period of time could this safely keep in the freezer?
It was delicious by the way!!!
Absolutely Amazing! It deserves a 10 rating!
That sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing.
I add some extra seasoning- Creole, cilantro lime and no salt lemon pepper. I also add cooked season green beans
Its good for the whole family.
Amazing!! Made this for my daughters while they visited us for some warm weather in Florida before Christmas…
This is soooo good! Huge hit with the husband, and picky child even ate the potatoes and corn! We used the Roma Old Bay sausage from Aldi, and I think that might have contributed to the perfection of this meal! (I’m not a big fan of smoked sausage) We’ll be adding this into the dinner rotation, for sure!
I have made this numerous times over the summer, and tonight! My family absolutely loves it!!
Second time making it! Husband and friends love it! I added mushrooms, onions and lemon wedges to give it a kick and doubled the butter garlic seasoning.
Oh. My. Goodness! This was absolutely amazing! I honestly cannot wait to make it again!
This is the second time I have made this and it is deeeelicious! The first time I made exactly as written. Today I was craving this but didn’t have Corn on the cob or potatoes so I substituted a 10 oz bag of frozen corn (defrosted in microwave) and 1 can of drained and rinsed diced potatoes (no need to cook before). It made it super easy and quick to make on a weeknight after work.
I’ve made this before and it’s AMAZING!! I’m making it again tonight but cannot remember if I thaw the shrimp first or cook it frozen! Help!!
I made this recipe and it was wonderful and easy. I think I will use baby corn next time. I love corn on the cob, it was hard for me to cut the corn into small pieces. Husband loved it too.
Excellent! But let’s make this even easier! No need to peel the shrimp but make sure you get shrimp with head on.
