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.

Made this today. It was so easy and delicious!! Definitely a keeper!!!
Absolutely delicious!
However you need almost three sheet pans to fit it all on single layer. I placed the shrimp single layer and everything else around it. It worked, but very, very tight. I would also recommend cutting the sausage into larger pieces so they won’t dry out.
My husband is a chef for a senior living and he’s going to make it for the residents..
Made this twice. Hugh raves by husband each time. Deviated slightly by increasing butter/garlic/bay seasoning. Found it easier to mix ingredients with seasonings in a large bowl and then spreading in sheet pan. Used medium fresh raw shrimp first time and extra large frozen raw shrimp cut in half second time. Came out delicious either way. Thanks for a great recipe.
Delicioso y fácil de preparar. I will cook again !!
Huge hit with the picky family. My 7 yr old gave this a 10 out of 10 and asked if it could be part of our regular meal rotation. Outstanding. 🙂
Easy to make, everyone in the family ate it!
Sorry, I didn’t leave my star rating with my comment!
Yummy! I made this for our children after a long day of traveling — it was perfect! Served Red Lobster cheddar biscuits as a side. No leftovers!
I like it. And add what ever left overs like broccoli and asparagus to the mix.
I made this Shrimp Boil recipe & it came out totally delicious! Very easy directions & clear steps. My guests RAVED about it! It will be one of my go-to favorites from now on!!
I have made this dinner twice. My family is big and isn’t always easy to please, but loves this everytime. It will become a regular on the family approved menu.
Instant hit! This was delicious and we will definitely make again. My husband fist bumped me it was that good.
It was so delicious! Thank you! I used a bigger pan, like a roaster pan. I also made the sauce according to the recipe x3 . And I let it cook 30 minutes. Thank you! I loved it! My family devoured it!
This is fantastic, it’s definitely going on our menu rotation. We used petite red potatoes instead of the other ones you suggested.
I made this for a family dinner. My husband said it was better than a regular shrimp boil and he was born/raised in the south. Tastier! Better distribution of spices.
My daughters and their husbands loved it too. I will definitely be making this again. Though I will admit I made too much. But that’s okay, my husband and I will enjoy the leftovers for tonight’s dinner!!
I did use lactose-free butter, which had salt, but it didn’t taste too salty.
I made this tonight. It was seconds worthy and a definite do over. Easy and can freeze.
This is so quick, so easy and SO DELCICIOUS! I can make this in 35 minutes start to finish. Seven ingredients- and I already have three- butter, old bay and garlic- in the house.
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.
unable to get andouille sausage in my area what can i use instead?
I use kielbasa and it works great.
This is my go to recipe for weekday dinners, company or visitors arriving after a trip. I live where I can get fresh gulf shrimp so this is easy peasy. When my kids fly in, they look forward to having this dish as their first at-the-beach meal. My only adjustment is since I’m not too crazy about Old Bay seasoning, I use a New Orleans BBQ shrimp seasoning. I get it locally, but it’s sold on Amazon too. Making a traditional shrimp boil requires being careful shrimp don’t turn mushy until everything else cooks. This is a great, great recipe.
What is the BBQ seasoning you use? Thanks!
Easy and delicious! Definitely a crowd pleaser for the summer. I double the butter and we steamed clams separately to go with it. I just wish I had thought ahead to get bread to dip in the juices.
