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 a huge hit! Cooking part of the time on the stovetop saves so much time in the oven and I’m all for not heating up the house so much!
Delicious !’
I first reviewed this recipe 2 years ago. Since then, I have mode it a few dozen times and served to numerous people. Not a single person leaves without a copy of the recipe. There is work involved, parboiling potatoes, shucking corn, slicing andouille sausage, peeling and de-veining shrimp, but the results are amazing! Absolutely a go to for me. Thank you.
My family enjoyed this meal sooo much. Great directions, it came together quickly too. Will be making again, plus I’m inspired to get your cookbook. THANKS!
So easy to make and Damn Delicious !!!
Wow! This was so good. Perfect summer dinner. My whole family loved it and that is very unusual. Easy to make and easy to clean up. It’s going into my dinner rotation.
This was delicious. We’ve been long fans of shrimp boils, but the extra taste of this dish puts the other to shame. Loved it!
Delicious! My family LOVED this! The spice and butter mixture make everything test so yummy! My family didn’t care for the sausage so making a second time with no suasage, more corn. I added extra butter and more garlic and a little more shrimp. I had to cook the potatoes and corn a little longer than mentioned.
Absolutely delicious and super easy! Quick clean up! My kind of meal. Thanks for posting.!
I found this recipe while looking for something to cook for dinner tonight last minute. Not disappointed! My husband loved it too. Very easy and fast! Thanks!
I made this shrimp boil for my family. Everyone LOVED it. It was amazing!!!
Followed recipe !! Awsome !!! Will definitely fix again. Hubby says this is a keeper. !!!
I added snow crab legs and red pepper flakes
My husband and I DEVOURED this! It’s so easy, and totally tasty! Thanks for another easy weeknight meal.
This was Outstanding@! It was flavorful, savory and satisfying! I didn’t cut the corn, and also added a little more garlic. Not only delicious, but Beautiful to Behold! This will be a standard. Used foil, so cleanup, is a bonus.
OMG! Chungah! This is brilliant! I love the “no mess” one-pan roasting and easy cleanup. You are so darn cute! You need a TV show of your own. I love your recipes and darling humor!
Making this meal tonight and absolutely cannot wait! I’m doubling the recipe since we have a big family of big eaters 🙂 2 Questions— If I cant find baby Dutch yellow potatoes, can I use regular yellow potatoes and cut them up? Would the cooking time be the same? Also I’m making this in a baking dish since I need to double it, so I’m wondering if it needs to be tossed a little throughout cooking since it won’t be spread out flat on a baking sheet? Thank you so much!
Yes, Amanda, you can absolutely substitute regular yellow potatoes. If they are not cut small enough, baking time will have to be adjusted as needed. It may also be best to stir as needed in the baking dish but as always, please use your best judgment when making substitutions and modifications.
Followed the recipe exactly, it was amazing! Served with a can of old Bay on the side. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, never doing a seafood boil again!!
Just curious can you not use the old bay? I actually really don’t prefer the taste (sorry everyone) but I’d love to cook this for my husband.
Delish! My new fave meal. I used Smoked Turkey sausAge and a teeny less butter and potatoes because Weight Watchers, still was great. Even better as leftovers, somehow! I lined the pan with aluminum foil and just wrapped up leftovers in same foil. Less clean-up! Because I am an efficiency expert (lazy).
I live for this sheet pan recipe! So simple and delicious! Thank you
I was a bit skeptical about the shrimp turning into little rubber crustaceans, but I was wrong. This was super easy and so yummy. I made this as part of my meal prep game plan and ate this for two nights in a row. I think it serves 4 better than 6. A side of cocktail sauce made this really easy too. This is also a much more cost effective approach to getting my seafood fix versus going out to a seafood restaurant.
