Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound baby red or gold potatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 3 ears of corn, each cut into 3-4 rounds
  • 1 pound smoked sausage or andouille, sliced into ½-inch coins
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced, plus extra wedges for serving
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, Old Bay, smoked paprika, thyme, and black pepper.
  3. Place potatoes and sausage on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with about half of the butter-spice mixture and toss to coat. Spread in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove pan from oven. Push potatoes and sausage to one side. Add corn rounds and lemon slices. Drizzle with remaining butter mixture and toss gently to combine. Return to oven for 5 minutes.
  5. Remove pan. Add raw shrimp, nestling them among other ingredients. Toss gently. Roast for final 5-7 minutes, until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  6. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Old Bay if desired. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if needed. Adding the shrimp last prevents overcooking. For a dairy-free version, replace butter with olive oil. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
