Sheet pan shrimp and sausage is a delicious and easy one-pan meal that’s perfect for a summer weeknight or weekend meal. I also referred to this recipe as my baked shrimp boil. It is super easy to make and can be done in half the time as a traditional shrimp boil. It’s great when served alone or it can be paired with several side dishes such as dirty rice, mac and cheese or collard greens.
