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.

I add cut up zucchini and peppers and less butter. My favorite recipe and only discovered it in 2020.
Yes, this recipe is on point. I made it with 2 cans of sliced potatoes, rinsed and omitted the corn on the cob because I could not find it due to this time of the year. Just did a side of whole kernel corn from a can as well. I know right…
It made the meal even easier to put together. Both I and my family loved it!!
Thank you so so much. This is a keeper
That was delicious. Next time we will try to add some broccoli as I like a bit more color.
That’s was amazing
Looks wonderful what to try for my sons birthday
This was AMAZING!!!! The whole family LOVED it just as it was written. I LOVE how easy it is but so incredible delicious!!!
I tried this with few slight modifications. I used smoked turkey sausage and added cut up bell pepper and onion. (not traditional I know) and once all in the pan I covered with foil to seal in the moisture. It came out absolutely delicious cant wait to make it again.
Absolutely easy and delish!
Can you use frozen cooked shrimp? I have some in the freezer that need to be used for something and this sounds perfect
I made this before and it was good. But why not just boil it all.
HOLY. COW. Where has this been all my life? Made it for my husband and I for lunch, and we’re hooked. It will be a regular meal here from now on!
We love this dish. It’s easy to make and doesn’t take much time! Weeknight supper made easy and delicious!
I was nervous trying a new recipe to serve to guests, but they LOVED it. And it was so easy. Definitely on my make-again list. FYI, recipe says it serves 6, but I had 7 guests coming so I used 2 lbs of shrimp and it was just perfect. I also put all the ingredients in a large bowl and then poured the sauce over it and mixed it instead of doing it right on the baking pan.
They credited the chef on the tasty website video and the tasty app. I literally looked it up and they tagged damndelicious. Sooo angelina you should do some research first. It is a fine recipe which I literally will do tonite for dinner.
Love this dish. My husband and I make it all the time now. I sub brussel sprouts for potatoes because they’re usually a staple in our seafood boils and are delish. I also toss in an onion cut into chunks – again, just experience with seafood boils haha. Super easy, pretty quick for a weeknight meal. And relatively healthy.
Tasty buzzfeed stole your recipe! Word for word and gave you no credit.you posted this before they posted theirs a year later. I’m appalled. Apparently they have done this to other chefs.

This recipe is not new. I have been making this dish for years inspired by previous Louisiana recipes which go back for years. I give credit where credit is due.
I should have cut in half. Delicious though. xoxoxox I added a bit of cayenne for spice. Yum
This was the perfect summer meal! I made it for Labor Day Weekend and my husband raved about it!
Absolutely delicious and definitely a keeper!

I cut the recipe in half because there is just the two of us.
Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly! It was delicious!
Better than the low country boil we had in Savannah! My husband enjoyed it so much that he said it needs to go into regular supper time rotation! Thanks for a delicious recipe!
This is brilliant. I cook everything exactly the way you do and it’s done to perfection. The only thing I do differently is I just use a creole seasoning. I made this the other night and my husband said it’s his new favorite meal
