A delectable combination of the traditional corn, potatoes, Andouille sausage and shrimp, this Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil is a ridiculously easy to make and delicious meal your family will request again and again.
I love a traditional low country shrimp boil but I wouldn't necessarily make it on any old weeknight. This recipe on the other hand is PERFECT for getting a delicious and healthy meal on the table fast and with minimal effort. And let's be honest, isn't that what we're all looking for?

Picking your shrimp: Peel on or off?
I personally recommend using peel on shrimp for this recipe. Those peels prevent the shrimp from getting dry and they have a ton of flavor.
Easy Peel Shrimp are now available at most grocery stores and retain the flavor and protection of the peel while being incredibly quick and (as the name) easy to remove when it's time to eat!

Equipment
- Large sheet pan
- Cutting board and knife
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- Raw, peel on shrimp: I recommend using Easy Peel Shrimp and make sure they are raw. Precooked shrimp won't work in this recipe!
- Andouille sausage
- Fresh corn on the cob
- Baby potatoes: I like using the mini potatoes for this recipe as they only need to be cut in half and get super tender very quickly. If you prefer to use a different larger potato be sure to cut them smaller so they cook in the time.
- Salted butter: I love using Kerrygold salted butter in pretty much all my recipes. Unsalted will work too just add an extra pinch of salt. You can also replace with additional olive oil to make dairy free.
- Olive oil
- Seafood Seasoning: My absolute favorite seasoning to use in this recipe is Yep!Shake Seafood Seasoning. You can use any of your favorite brands including Old Bay.
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh parsley (optional)

Recipe FAQs
You can, but I do recommend using shrimp with the peel on for flavor and tenderness. If you use peeled shrimp be sure to check on them after about 8-10 minutes of cooking for doneness.
No, pre-cooked shrimp will not work with this recipe. It will dry out in the oven and won't have the same flavor.
Yes! I love using traditional Andouille but some versions can be a little spicy. I recommend picking a similar sausage such as Kielbasa or smoked sausage.
You certainly can! Just be sure to cut them into smaller pieces so that get cooked through in the time.
