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.

So good! You really know what you’re doing and all of your recipes look delicious
Can I use Zatarain’s instead of Old bay?
I have honestly never used Zatarain’s before. Sorry!
Can I use chorizo instead?
Also I live in Canada and not sure if we have Old Bay Seasoning. What could I substitute?
You can actually substitute homemade Old Bay Seasoning – there are many DIY recipes available online.
Yes, absolutely.
I want to eat it, now!
I made this day. OMG! It is delicious! I didn’t have the sausage you use. (Actually I don’t know what it is.) I used homemade German Sausage. Hint:I covered my pan with foil for easy cleanup.
Can I use kielbasa instead?
Yes, of course.
I made this and it was absolutely amazing!! Fairly simple. Added frozen crab legs for the last 10 minutes! Thanks so much!
Excellent! Super easy for a quick dinner!!
This is so simple and so tasty! It’s going to be one of my new go-to meals. I added some bell pepper and may add onions next time. Thank you!
This is my second time making this. Ive left out the potato and subbed in a nice big onion. Taking to a pot luck. Can’t wait to share it. I think I made too much!
I just made this and holy cow!! My husband likes shrimp so I thought I would cook something outside my comfort zone (I’m not really a fish person). After making this, I think I might just start cooking with shrimp more often! The flavors of the spice, sausage, and lemon are perfect! Thank you for this recipe! I will definitely be making this again!
We had this tonight and it was a hit!! I had bought the ingredients a few weeks ago for a dinner for friends that they had to cancel. Her mother got very sick and passed away so our church cooked and cooked for the family. I had planned again to have them over but a man in our church got really sick and he passed away also, he has been in that church for so many years he is basically everyone’s “Church Daddy” so more cooking for their family. I had just about decided on another date for dinner with friends and Hurricane Harvey showed up. We are near Beaumont which is about 1.5 hours west of Houston so we have a lot of flooding going on and the possibility now of Harvey coming back to land into our area so, time to break out the shrimp and andouille and cook up a great happy meal before we possibly lose power and have to cook or lose everything in the freezer. We are very close to Louisiana and they have sent out the Cajun Navy to help the folks in Houston. Nothing official, just a whole bunch of Cajuns in their boats going to help out their neighbors. Andouille is a classic Cajun sausage and of course shrimp by the tons served there too. So here’s to you Louisiana thanks for such great food and huge giving hearts. The flavors were amazing together, can’t wait for leftovers tomorrow, thanks for another keeper, it sure brightened up the day!!
what would the nutrient facts be on this? or at least the calorie count? Thanks
Nutritional information is provided only for select and new recipes at this time. However, if it is not available for a specific recipe, I recommend using free online resources at your discretion (you can Google “nutritional calculator”) to obtain such information. Hope that helps!
Do you think this would work with scallops? My husband is allergic to shrimp. And this looks so beautiful! thanks!!
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
I think it would be worth a try and if you do, please let us know how it comes out, I do so love scallops!!
I added bay scallops and it was delicious!
I made it and it was a HIT ! I had to run out to get more ingredients to make it again the next day ! LOVE LOVE LOVE this website ! You ARE Amazing !!
I made this 2 nights ago and my other half said it was one of the best dinners I have made! It is a keeper and so yummy, and fast. It may not be a shrimp boil in the true sense of the described method but I think it is better and will make it again.
Love this recipe. Only change I make is I use turkey smoked sausage or turkey polish due to having small children and for the lower fat. Whole family loves it
Dear Chungah, please next time you decide to post something like this, ensure that the title and name of the dish is accurate. There is not boiling in your process, THIS WOULD BE CALLED A SHRIMP BROIL. Now this lady at my office thinks shes boiling thing when in reality she is not. I blame you for this Chungah.
LOL, SERIOUSLY Michael!?!?! Not being blessed with a smarter brain is NOT Chungah fault, you can’t fix stupid and you can’t blame Chungah.
Yes!
Not sure how you figure there is no clean up as stated in the recipe, as you need to clean up the pot used to boiled the potatoes and the baking sheet used to to do the final baking of this recipe.
Haha….so funny!
My hubby almost licked the pan when I made this! He begged me to make it again. I used frozen peeled & deveined Shrimp and thawed it, because it’s what I had on hand. Frozen ears of corn (thawed til I could slice it to boil) , and fingerling potatoes par-boiled per the recipe, with Smoked Sausage. At the last minute decided to thrown in some imitation crab. Ahhhh mayyy zing!!!!! Making it again tonigt! Thanks for such an amazing recipe!
