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 is a family hit in my house. We substitute the andouille sausage with Kabasa another family, favorite, quick and easy five stars all the way around.
I have made this many times. A family fave. Thanks!
I have made this maybe 6-7 times already! It’s delicious. I always use skinless turkey smoked sausage, and it’s also good with colorful bell peppers roasting in that goodness, too. Love this one!
Ooh! Will have to try with peppers. I added a red onion sliced into thick wedges
I just made this….. so Damn Delicious … will definitely make again!
Yes….I have made this and it is awesome. It passed the test straight across the board…..hubby,kids and grand kids. As a matter of fact it is back on the menu as I will be spending some time with my grands and they requested it. I have tried several DD recipes and have not been disappointed yet.
Added some extra vegetables like peppers, mushrooms, broccoli and replaced yellow potatoes with sweet potatoes. Delicious and will definitely make again!
We have made this a standard in the ol homestead. It’s easy peasy and ohhh sooo delicious
We really enjoyed this dish. It came together very easily and the best part was the easy cleanup. I will be making this again.
AMAZING! my sons are very picky and my 16 year old had 5 plates!! It was literally gone in less then 10 minutes.
Definitely will be making very often now!
Raw shrimp?
No raw shrimp. Per the recipe: Place into oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and corn is tender.
This was awesome.
Made 2 different ways Cajun Spice and just regular Old Bay – awesome!!!
Made this for our dinner tonight and my wife loved it. It was very easy and didn’t require a big mess to clean up. I will make a few changes the next time I make it. The recipe called for medium shrimp. I couldn’t find medium and bought large. I’m thinking that even these might be a bit too small. I will try jumbo the next time. Instead of stirring in butter mixture and gently tossing to combine on the sheet pan, I will put everything into the large pot used for boiling the potatoes and corn and toss in there to get a better coating of the items.
I make at least 3 times a month. Super easy, and my husband LOVES it.
Devein? More like DIVINE! hahahaha hahahahahaha jajajahahajajajajahajajahaokenough.
I loved this meal it was so good. I’m just a man by himself and it fed me for days. I didn’t do all the corn at once either cuz corn can kinda get eh when you reheat it but yeah must say I will be doing it again. In fact, I just bought all the ingredients tonight at the store save for the corn cuz I’m not sure when I’m going to be making it – maybe Friday – and I’ll hold out for the farmer’s market. Cheers from Oakland =D
Great. Lots of prep. Did fine until I lost control of the sheet pan taking it out of the oven and it all ended up on the floor. The little bit I got was fantastic.
Wow. Amazing. The whole family loved it, no leftovers. I will make this again and again. Thank you!
My family loves this SHEET PAN SHRIMP BOIL.
It makes a lot, where there are leftovers for the next dinner.
I have added slices of bell peppers to add color and additional taste.
This is so easy to make.
Our family loves this meal. I add scallops cut onion and a second pound of shrimp then double the seasonings with the butter. This easy recipe makes my family think I’m a good cook.
and don’t forget to add RED LOBSTER biscuits!
I’ve made this at least 20 times since finding your recipe! It’s so easy and so delicious!
This was simple to make & tasted fantastic. We did use chorizo sausage instead of andouille as we prefer it. Will be making this again for sure. Thank you for the great recipe!
