Ingredients

Scale
  • pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (medium or large size)
  • 12 ounces andouille sausage, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 3 ears of corn, cut into thirds
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh lemon wedges (to squeeze over before serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and halve the baby potatoes to ensure even cooking. Pat dry.
  3. Slice the ears of corn into thirds. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain well.
  4. Slice the andouille sausage into ½-inch rounds.
  5. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp, potatoes, corn, and sausage. Drizzle melted butter over the top, then sprinkle the spice blend evenly. Toss everything until well coated.
  7. Spread all ingredients in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
  8. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes. At about 12 minutes, flip the potatoes and sausage to promote even browning. Watch shrimp closely and remove when pink and opaque.
  9. Check that potatoes are fork-tender and corn is slightly charred.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure roasting instead of steaming. Pat shrimp dry before seasoning to avoid excess moisture. Adjust cayenne pepper to control heat level. Flip potatoes and sausage halfway through cooking for even browning. Remove shrimp early if they cook faster than potatoes to prevent rubberiness. Line pan with foil or parchment for easier cleanup.
