Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 oz andouille sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1.5 lb baby red potatoes, quartered
- 4 pieces corn cobettes, halved (or 4 whole ears of corn, cut into thirds)
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2.5 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 pieces lemons, juiced and zested
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 sheet roll parchment paper or aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the quartered baby red potatoes for 10 minutes. Add the corn cobettes during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until combined to create the flavorful seasoning blend.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, andouille sausage, pre-cooked potatoes, and corn. Pour the butter and seasoning mixture over the ingredients and toss well to coat everything evenly.
Spread the shrimp mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring everything is in a single layer for even cooking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the sausage and vegetables are golden brown. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once baked, remove the sheet from the oven and sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus.
