Print Recipe

A quick and easy sheet pan shrimp boil recipe that combines smoky paprika, garlic, sausage, corn, and potatoes for a flavorful and comforting meal perfect for busy weeknights or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined (wild-caught if possible)
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces (kielbasa or andouille preferred)
  • 3 cups baby red potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups corn on the cob, cut into thirds (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and halve the baby red potatoes. Place them in a large bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes on a large rimmed sheet pan in a single layer.
  3. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes.
  4. While potatoes roast, slice the smoked sausage into 1-inch pieces and cut corn into thirds.
  5. In the same mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, sausage, corn, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated.
  6. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the shrimp mixture, spreading everything evenly. Tuck lemon slices among the ingredients.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10–12 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque, sausage is slightly crisp, and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Optional: Drizzle melted butter and sprinkle minced garlic over the hot sheet pan for extra richness and flavor.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting. Use fresh or fully thawed shrimp and pat dry to avoid sogginess. Watch shrimp closely during the last minutes to prevent overcooking. Lining the pan with parchment paper makes cleanup easier. Adjust cayenne pepper to control spice level. If potatoes need more time, remove shrimp and sausage and continue roasting potatoes separately.
