    You've probably had an Old Bay shrimp boil, but today's recipe is even easier as everything is made in a sheet for this tasty sheet pan shrimp boil.

    I love me some shrimp - from lemon garlic butter shrimp to spicy shrimp tacos to teriyaki shrimp to shrimp piccata.

    But when in the south, when you think of shrimp you think of a shrimp boil. With it being summer and in the heart of Old Bay country, I wanted to bring out an Old Bay shrimp boil on a sheet pan.

    This recipe is actually inspired by one of my favorite blogs - Damn Delicious. The main difference is I just like a little more butter, garlic and Old Bay. I mean it is an Old Bay shrimp boil!

    A traditional shrimp boil can be quite messy, but with this all being made in one pan, it couldn't be easier. Well you technically use a pot to boil the potatoes and corn, so I guess you use two dishes but I digress!

    While it can be made year round, it just tastes better this time of year with fresh corn. So with summer in the air, now is the perfect time to give this Old Bay shrimp boil a try.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Baby dutch potatoes - smaller potatoes work great here. You can also buy red or Yukon Gold potatoes and cut to a smaller size.
    • Corn - corn on the cob is the only option for this recipe. Don't use cut kernels or frozen.
    • Unsalted butter - coats the ingredients to help cook everything.
    • Garlic - garlic is an important flavor. Dried garlic isn't a good substitute.
    • Old Bay seasoning - where most of the flavor is from. You can also make your own homemade version.
    • Shrimp - fresh is best, but frozen then thawed shrimp work well too.
    • Smoked andouille sausage - make sure it is smoked so it is already cooked. If you can't find andouille, another type of smoked sausage works.
    • Lemon - gives the dish some necessary acid.
    • Italian parsley - adds some freshness.

    Variations

    Like any recipe, you can mix up the ingredients or add to it. Some variations include:

    • Adding 1 can of beer to the water as you boiled the potatoes and corn adds additional flavor.
    • Using other herbs such as thyme complements the dish.
    • Adding additional seafood like crab, lobster or clams.
    • Sneak in other veggies like green beans, asparagus, broccoli or okra.

    FAQs

    What is a Seafood Boil?

    Seafood boils have been around quite a long time but have definitely established roots in the south. It is basically a generic label for a meal served at big events where everyone can enjoy.

    It is usually cooked outdoors in a large pot and then dumped out on a newspaper lined table so everyone can enjoy.

    How Do I Peel and Devein Shrimp?

    If you’ve never peeled and deveined shrimp I suggest watching this video from Epicurious.

    How Much Shrimp Per Person?

    The point of this dish is to share with friends and family. In general you want about a quarter pound of shrimp per person but this recipe is plenty for 6 people.

    How Do I Know When Shrimp is Cooked?

    When properly cooked, the exterior of the shrimp should be pink with red tails and the flesh is slightly opaque and a little “white” in color. It should only take 12-15 minutes in the oven.

    Can I Use Frozen Shrimp?

    Yes but you need them to thaw first. If you cook frozen they will get rubbery. The best way to thaw shrimp is leave in the fridge overnight or place in a bag and let sit in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.

    Side Dish Options

    In general, this sheet pan shrimp boil recipe is a meal on its own, but there are some great side dishes that work with it. Some options include:

    • Cornbread Muffins
    • Coleslaw
    • Baked Cheddar Mac and Cheese
    • Jalapeño Cheddar Bread
    • Macaroni Salad
    • Garlic Bread

    Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

    • Be consistent with cutting the potatoes and corn so they all cook evenly.
    • Use wild shrimp when possible. It is healthier for you and just tastes better.
    • Shrimp cook fairly quickly so don't leave in the oven longer than 15 minutes at most.

      After baking in the commercial kitchen all day, the last thing I want to do is spend a lot more time in my kitchen fixing dinner. This recipe was so easy to throw together and absolutely delicious!
