This easy meal is naturally gluten free and chock full of protein, so it’s the perfect option for lots of different dietary concerns.

Whether you’re looking for a summer dinner to mimic traditional seafood boils you may have grown up with or just a sheet pan dinner that the entire family will love, this is a fun way to feed everyone!

How To Make:

Ingredients:

2-3 ears sweet corn on the cob
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

3 teaspoons minced garlic in olive oil
Salt and pepper to season
Fresh parsley

Ingredients for the Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil including a bag of Patagonioan frozen shrimp, red potatoes in a bowl, two ears of corn in the husks, Johnsonville andouille sausage and spices

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. 

Bring a large pot of water to boil and boil your red potatoes for about 15 minutes or until fork tender.

Seven small pieces of corn on the cob on a white plate on a wooden tableRemove the husks from the ears of corn and cut each of the fresh corn cobs into 4 pieces each. This will leave you with 8 – 12 corn cob pieces.

Will Everything For this Southern Boil Cook Correctly On A Single Sheet Pan? 

Yes! There are a lot of ingredients here, but that is the fun of a seafood boil. If you are sure to spread the mixture across the pan, everything will cook correctly. Besides, most of it has been cooked before you put the sheet pan dish in the oven.

Do I Have To Use Frozen Shrimp For This Easy Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil?

No! I prefer to use frozen shrimp so that I don’t have to devein shrimp and I can have them in my freezer whenever I want to use them for shrimp recipes, but you don’t have to. If you choose to use fresh shrimp for this sheet pan meal, make sure that they are deveined and cook them in the melted butter as in the instructions. It will take only a few minutes since they aren’t frozen, so keep a close eye while the shrimp cooks in the pan. 

Can I Turn This Into A Sweet Potato Seafood Boil? 

Yes! This is something that I’ve been introduced to recently and while this original recipe is amazing, you can try it with sweet potatoes as well. Instead of red potatoes, boil some sweet potatoes. You may want to cut these into smaller pieces once you’ve boiled them. Prepare your juicy shrimp, flavorful sausage, tender corn, and everything else the same way, using your cajun seasoning and other ingredients. Bake your shrimp boil in the oven and enjoy!
