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.

Has anyone used frozen shrimp?
Yes. We always use the shrimp frozen. I do rinse them in cold water. When the shrimp is done, everything is.
It’s a great timer.
This was freaking delicious! My husband said it was his favorite meal I’ve ever made for him! Which kind of pissed me off; because, I’m a really good cook and often go to great lengths to make some chichi stuff! Lol! Prep veggies ahead and it’s super easy to assemble and cook! Thank you!! I will be making this again!! Yummo!
SO good! My pickiest eater rated it 12 out of 10. Also it was super easy! Thanks for frequently saving the day on dinner at our house!
This is always on the menu for beach week. Sometimes I have to triple the recipe. It’s a favorite.
I know people are not going to like this question. L O L. Is there a good substitute for those who don’t like Old Bay (oddly, my husband and I BOTH don’t like it. Yes, we’re weirdos).
We use regular Everglades instead of Old Bay. They also have an Everglades heat if you like a little kick.
I use zatarains shrimp boil spice, do not like old bay either
It was a hit. Thank you!
One of my favorite recipes to make.
Made this tonight and it was so easy and so delicious! First time I’ve ever tried cooking shrimp and I was nervous but it was perfect!
Make this y’all!!
Can this be meal prepped the night before and cooked/served the next day? Any tips on that?
I’ve made this several times. I cook mussels and clams separately and add to the dish
Made this tonight- love it, better than the traditional low country boil!!
I’ve made this so many times I can’t say! My family is obcessed. It’s so easy and just delicious!
Terrific and easy. Made at a beach rental house with limited equipment and it was a hit.
I didn’t have any yellow potatoes so I used baking potatoes turned out good.
I made this last night, exactly as posted. Simple and delicious! I served it with cheddar biscuits.
Made this one time and plan to make it again. I have company coming and I plan to make it again. It was very delicious and so simple to make. Alongside some cheddar bay biscuits I think this will be an excellent meal.
Is this using raw shrimp or pre cooked?
Very good…made this with friends having invited them for wine, snacks and to cook together. Easy shared prep and a fast delicious meal. The corn was yummy cut into little rounds and easy to eat this way. We doubled the recipe and the leftovers were even more tasty!!
Looks great
We get 100 lbs. of NC shrimp 16/20 a year so eating shrimp is ready when we want it … That being said this recipe is one we use a lot. When fresh corn isnt around I use whole baby in the can. If using fresh corn cook in micowave in husk about 4 min. or so then dehusk cut in chunks put with the raw shrimp to cook.
Wish I had seen the tip about the corn. Next time I will par-cook the potatoes and corn. The shrimp are way done by the time everything else is
Looking to avoid the use of butter.. do you think olive oil or avocado could replace?
Thank you!!! 🙂
Olive oil will work also, better than avocado oil because avocado oil has little taste but best to fry with.
Turned out really good. The only problem was the corn on the cob was too big. I think the next time I will cook it separately or use broccoli instead as requested by my husband. But the sausage, potatoes and shrimp together were delicious!
I have never done a sheet pan recipe. I liked it but need more experience to get quicker. Or prepare things ahead of time. Glad I did it on a Sunday night.
