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.

Old Bay comes in a couple of flavors, do you have any recommendations?
I recommend the original. 🙂
Thank you for the recipe! I am substuting the butter with Earth Balance and Olive Oil, and pre cooking the sausage to make it extra crispy, excited to eat it, Thank you!!!
That’s way too long to cook shrimp. I cooked the veggies first and added the shrimp 10 minutes before the veggies were done. Otherwise delicious!
Could you make ahead and freeze? I’m looking for a freezer meal for s friend who’s having surgery.
Unfortunately, I cannot answer this with certainty as I have never tried freezing this myself – there were no leftovers left to freeze! Please use your best judgment for freezing and reheating.
Loved it. My husband did too. I would not change a thing.
Just got your first cookbook. Can’t wait to start trying the recipes. This pan recipe did not make the book. I hope everyone keeps checking online for new ideas. I appreciate your suggestions for substitutions. Will start to keep cooked rice or quinoa on hand as well as your suggested pantry / spice items. So glad I found you.
No onions?
No onions.
I really enjoyed this recipe! ! Thank you.
Made this tonight. The whole family loved it! So far 2 for 2 of recipes that I’ve tried from this blog that my kids will eat!! thank you!!
This was delicious. I love your site & book
Very nicely done. Love those sheet pan recipes (:
Looks amazing!!! And so easy
Made this tonight – I didn’t have Old Bay seasoning (I thought I did, but I was wrong). I used Garam Masala with some Aleppo pepper added. It was fantastic! I used only one clove of garlic, because that’s our preference. As for the sausage, I used a brand that was fully cooked, so no worries! I’ve made so many of your recipes, and I got your book – everything I’ve tried so far has been great. Thanks, Chungah!
Hi Alison, I’m making this tonight but don’t have Old Bay seasoning as well. How much garam masala did you use? and what’s a good alternative for aleppo pepper? thanks
Looks amazing!!! And so easy
The recipe calls for fresh, peeled, deveined shrimp but the picture looks like the shrimp is not peeled?
It is actually peeled! The tails are just left on.
This is awesome! I made it for dinner tonight and the family loved it. I replaced the sausage with squid so it was a seafood boil. Yum!
This was excellent! I added a few baby carrots with the potatoes. Will make again SOON! 🙂
I was looking for a comment substituting chicken for the sausage.
Any thoughts on this?
What a great idea!
How would you recommend substituting chicken for the sausage and at what point would you add it?
It depends – are you using diced chicken or whole chicken breasts? The size of the chicken will result in varying cooking times.
I saw chicken andouille at the store today. Another option for adding chicken! Making this fit company this weekend. I’m so excited to try this!
Did you put uncooked sausage on pan?
Yes.
Love your recipes, will definitely do this shrimp recipe this week
