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.

Loved this recipe! Was so incredibly easy and delicious!
Made this last night, easy and great.
My whole family loves this recipe. I need to make it dairy free for an upcoming event. What oil do you recommend to replace the butter?
I would recommend vegan butter
Delicious- the hardest part was slicing the corn! Is there a trick I dont know about?
Lol. I ended up using a meat cleaver and a swift chop.
So did I
This recipe is delicious! It’s easy and quick. My husband loves it!! Myself I add a little more Old Bay because we love it.
We use a chef’s knife (toward the tang end, not the tip) covered with a folded kitchen towel – and we smack once with the smooth side of a meat tenderizer. Our pre-teen did this today with no problem because he was excited we were making this meal.
So delicious! I tripled the recipe for my family beach vacation. Everybody loved it!
I’m the type of person (who for the life of me) don’t follow recipes ♀️ I get the ingredients and then don’t follow he steps step ( most of the times) ♀️. I had put everything in at the same time, then had to take out the shrimp and corn let potatoes and sausage cook longer, then add shrimp and corn back . And it turned out great a definite keeper.
Made this tonight according to the recipe – no tweaks. Voted #1 meal by the fam! Thank you!!
My absolutely favorite company meal! Great flavor and gives you plenty of time to entertain! I do the prep work ahead and simply pop the “sheet pan” in the oven. Crunchy bread and a tossed salad and BOOM! Everyone always loves it!
Mmm mm MMMM!! So good! And simple. I followed the recipe exactly, but next time I would add some cayenne or Cajun seasoning for some heat. Definitely making again.
This was delicious! I parboiled then roasted the potatoes with the sausage, then let the corn roast a bit prior to adding the shrimp, so my cooking time was closer to 2 hours. However, my husband thought this was one of my best meals as of late and he can’t wait to have it again. I also added some Cajun seasoning with the old bay, and it was perfectly spiced.
Made this a couple nights ago and it was so delicious. Finally the intense flavor that I am always looking for in a low country boil. Per reviews I added asparagus and some cayenne. Next time I would double sauce for sopping up in bread. The corn was so good! I am making corn tonight for a bbq and am going to make it the same way but will put it on the grill with the sauce after parboiling. YUM and THANKS for all your great recipes.
This is my favorite go-to sheet pan recipe. It is a hit every time I make it.
This was so good & super easy! It was a hit for my family (my daughter doesn’t like shrimp so added more sausage for her). I didn’t have the old bay seasoning so I used the Cajun. I’ll get some though to try since I’ve never used that before. We also forgot to add the parsley and use lemons. Next time I’ll be sure to try. I love all your dishes! Thank you!
I’ve made this dish three times so far, it’s amazing and delicious every time! I up the garlic a little but it’s not necessary, we just love garlic. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!
OMG…not only was this easy it was one of the best shrimp meals I have ever had. I love seafood…especially with Old Bay…so it was a no brainer for me. Everyone asked for the receipe. Perfect for the four people who came to dinner. Served it with crusty bread; a very nice Rose wine; and a salad. Finished it off with Lemon Gelato. I’ll make this again and again. A perfect summer meal.
Haven’t tried it yet. Have you ever added king crab? Does it cook for the same amount of time?
I’ve been making this for a few years. It’s so delicious!!!! Mouthwatering! Everyone loves it and it’s so easy!
Tip: pre boil the corn then cut it… easier than trying to cut through a raw ear of corn.
I put in a pan and cooked it on the grill I just put everything in pan the night before and put on the grill it turn out great
This is absolutely divine! My entire family loves it!! Thanks for the wonderful addition to my menu.
Made this for Christmas evening dinner! A hit! Easy and minimal cleanup! We loved!!❤️
My family loves it but my son doesn’t like potatoes and the rest of the family don’t eat a lot of them so they get wasted,is there something else I can replace the potatoes with?
Roast some asparagus, broccoli, or green beans?
Mushrooms
Love! Make regularly! So easy and so good!
