Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil

Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil means andouille sausage, corn, shrimp, and baby potatoes.

What do you say to dinner being ready in under 45 minutes with easy prep and easy cleanup? I’m in. Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil brings it and you don’t even need forks.

Shrimp Boil

Have you ever been to a shrimp boil? They are popular in parts of the southern U.S. and consist of shrimp, potatoes, corn, and a few other things thrown into a huge pot, boiled, then dumped onto a newspaper-covered table. No utensils are necessary because everyone digs in and eats with their hands.

While I haven’t been to a shrimp boil, I have gone to a New England clambake. It was the evening before my brother’s college graduation and the university hosted a family picnic. Lobster, crab, clams, corn, and potatoes were among the delicious things to eat while wearing an oversized plastic bib with a picture of a lobster on the front.

Seafood boils can also include crab and crawfish. They are a fun way to serve dinner family-style while enjoying the weekend or holidays outdoors, indoors, or at the beach. Plus, no dishes to clean up.

This shrimp boil recipe features Old Bay seasoning.

Old Bay

Teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning and a ramekin of melted butter.

Old Bay Seasoning was created in Baltimore, Maryland by Gustav Brunn, a German Jew and concentration camp escapee. After Brunn and his family fled Germany and moved to the United States, he resumed his work as a spice seller.

His spice seasoning was a hit with vendors at the nearby fish market. The ingredient list of 18 herbs and spices included celery salt, red pepper, black pepper, and paprika. Brunn also added some spices not normally associated with seafood, like cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Old Bay’s appeal extended beyond the Maryland coast and soon became a best-selling seasoning mix nationwide. It was known for its zesty flavor that complemented seafood, chicken, and veggies. The brand was later purchased by McCormick & Company and continues to be popular.

Lessons Learned

  • Despite the name, no boiling happens in this recipe. It is all sheet pan, all oven, and all delicious.
  • Don’t have baby potatoes? Use normal ones but cut them into bite-size pieces.
  • Plates are optional. Seriously, you can eat directly off the pan like my husband and I did standing at the kitchen counter while recounting our work day and sharing a beer.
