It’s a Southern classic, but made our way! I love a good sheet pan dinner around here, and our Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil is a new favorite! It has all of the flavors you want: sweet summer corn, plump, juicy shrimp, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside potatoes, and smoky sausage, all tossed together in a delicious seasoned butter sauce, thanks to our Copycat Old Bay Seasoning!
What is a Shrimp Boil?
Traditionally, a shrimp boil (or seafood boil or “Lowcountry Boil”) is a popular Southern meal that cooks all of the ingredients boiled in a lemon broth and is then finished with seasoned butter. Our recipe for Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil adds even more flavor by roasting it all in the seasoned butter and oil for an easy-to-serve and easy-to-clean-up dinner!
Ingredients Needed
- Shrimp – The main ingredient in a shrimp boil! Deveined of course, and peeled if you’d like; however, traditional shrimp boils use easy-to-peel, shell-on shrimp to protect the shrimp from overcooking (and to add flavor). We’ve made this with both peeled and unpeeled, and trust us, even with the shell on, all of that delicious flavor is still cooked into the shrimp!
- Corn – This is the perfect use for fresh summer corn! We cut cobs into thirds for this recipe.
- Potatoes – Waxy-skinned potatoes are best for this recipe as they will maintain their structure the best. We use red potatoes, but a yellow potato will also be great!
- Sausage – Add some smoky goodness to this dinner! We love smoked sausage, andouille sausage, and have even used kielbasa.
- Old Bay Seasoning – Key to adding so much flavor to the butter seasoning! Go the from scratch extra mile by making your own!
- Butter and Oil – We use both butter and oil for this one, but you can, of course, use all butter for the ultimate butter flavor!
- Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper – Just enough to add even more flavor!
- Fresh Parsley – To finish and garnish with!
Ready in 30 Minutes
We love how quickly this recipe comes together! It’s just a par-boil of the potatoes (with lemon), then a mixture of the butter, oil, and spices to create the butter seasoning.
Add that butter seasoning to everything and then give it a good mix.
Seasoning Tip
We season the corn, shrimp, and sliced sausage first and then the potatoes in a large bowl to save time. But this can also be done right on the sheet pan to save the extra dish to wash! Just be sure to give the potatoes a minute or two to cool before adding them to the rest of the ingredients. That way, they won’t start to cook the shrimp.
Add it all to a sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes. That’s all you need!
Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil, done! One big ol’ pan of lots of deliciousness.
All ready in 30 minutes! This is such a fun one that my kids oooh’d and ahhh’d every time I took it out of the oven and put it on the table while recipe testing.

- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400℉. Lightly oil a sheet pan (we use an olive oil mister for this) and set aside.
- Prep Other Ingredients: Meanwhile, husk the corn and cut into thirds. Slice sausage and all corn and sausage to a large bowl.

- Season: Add most of the butter seasoning to the corn, shrimp, and sausage and mix well. Add the rest to the potatoes and mix and add it all to a lightly oiled sheet pan. *We do this in a large bowl, but this can all be done on the sheet pan to save the extra dishes. If mixing all together, let the potatoes slightly cool first.
- Bake: Add the tray to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy! Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with remaining lemon cut into wedges and enjoy!
