There is something about a shrimp boil that feels like an instant celebration, but let’s be real; I don’t always have the time (or the giant outdoor pot) to do it the old-fashioned way. That’s where my Sheet Pan Shrimp and Sausage recipe comes in. I like to think of this as my “Baked Shrimp Boil” because it captures all the vibrant, coastal flavor without the mess or the long wait.

This one-pan wonder is my secret weapon for those busy summer weeknights when I want a soulful, home-cooked meal on the table in half the time. By roasting the juicy shrimp, smoky sausage, and tender corn together on a single sheet, the seasonings meld together in a way that’s absolutely irresistible.

While it’s a complete star on its own, I love pairing it with a side of dirty rice, some mac and cheese, or a helping of slow simmered collard greens to really round out the plate. It’s effortless, flavorful, and exactly what a summer dinner should be.
