Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil Recipe

June 12, 2019 by Melissa 8 Comments

This Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil is loaded with all the flavors of summer!  Fresh juicy corn on the cob, smoked sausage, baby red potatoes and succulent shrimp seasoned and served with a flavor packed dipping sauce.

Forget big heavy boiling pots of water that are difficult to drain. This Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil is the fastest and easiest way to serve up a traditional shrimp boil. Fresh corn on the cob, red potatoes, smoked sausage and shrimp seasoned with Cajun Seasoning or Old Bay Seasoning, and served with a flavorful combination of hot sauce and butter for dipping.

Sheet Pan Dinners like my Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas, Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin and Sheet Pan Salmon Dinner  are my favorite easy dinners. I love thinking of ways I can convert traditional recipes to sheet pan recipes, where the entire dinner cooks on just one sheet pan.

How to Make Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil

  • Start by partially cooking the fresh corn on the cob in the microwave. This keeps the corn juicy while allowing you to use fresh seasonal corn on the cob. Heat it right in the husks to allow the corn to steam. If you have corn on the cob that has already been husked, wrap it with a damp paper towel before microwaving to prevent the corn from drying out.
  • Next, give the potatoes a head start in the oven since they will take longer to cook than the other ingredients.
  • Finally, add the uncooked shrimp. Use large shrimp so they don’t cook faster than the corn and smoked sausage.

Cajun Seasoning vs. Old Bay Seasoning

Cajun Seasoning and Old Bay Seasoning have similar flavor profiles, and either can be used depending on your preference. I like to use the McCormick’s Gourmet Cajun Seasoning which is coarser and chunkier than the Old Bay Seasoning. I feel like I can be more liberal with the cajun seasoning without over-salting the dish, and it adds some heat. Old Bay Seasoning is traditional in a shrimp boil so it is also an excellent choice! Just make sure you decrease the amount used in the recipe so you don’t over-salt, similar to substituting regular salt when a recipe calls for kosher salt. If you use a cajun seasoning that is finely ground, that measurement should also be reduced from two tablespoons to one.

Optional Dipping Sauce

Try this delicious combination of hot sauce and butter to dip the corn, shrimp, potatoes and sausage in. It really takes this dinner to another level!

 

I love these kind of easy dinners for weeknight meals or for entertaining. I would serve this shrimp boil with:

Frozen Margaritas

Perfect Sweet Tea 

Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars

Strawberry Cheesecake Bars
