Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 pound baby Dutch yellow potatoes
- 3 ears corn, each cut crosswise into 6 pieces
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Seafood & Meat
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 (12.8-ounce) package smoked andouille sausage, thinly sliced
Seasoning & Others
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Parboil potatoes and corn: In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the baby Dutch yellow potatoes and cook until just tender, about 10-13 minutes. Five minutes before the potatoes are done, add the corn pieces to the boiling water. Once both are tender, drain them well.
- Prepare the butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, and Old Bay seasoning, mixing thoroughly to create a fragrant, flavorful butter sauce.
- Assemble on the baking sheet: Arrange the parboiled potatoes, corn, peeled shrimp, and thinly sliced andouille sausage in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the butter mixture over everything and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly without overcrowding.
- Bake the shrimp boil: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the shrimp turn opaque and the corn is tender, ensuring everything is heated through and well flavored.
- Serve and garnish: Remove from oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves and lemon wedges to add a bright, fresh finish to the rich and spicy dish.
Notes
- Parboiling the potatoes and corn ensures even and thorough cooking in the oven without drying out the shrimp.
- Old Bay seasoning can be substituted with Cajun seasoning if preferred for a different spice profile.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
- Make sure to not overcrowd the ingredients on the pan for proper roasting and even cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently in the oven or stovetop.
