A quick and easy sheet pan shrimp boil featuring crispy shrimp coated in Old Bay butter, tender potatoes, and sweet corn, all roasted together for a flavorful and fuss-free seafood dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
  • 1 pound small red or baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 ears corn on the cob, cut into thirds
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
  3. While potatoes roast, combine softened butter, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
  4. After 15 minutes, add the corn pieces among the potatoes on the sheet pan. Roast for another 10 minutes.
  5. Toss the raw shrimp in the Old Bay butter glaze until well coated.
  6. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the sheet pan with the potatoes and corn, spooning any extra butter over the top.
  7. Roast everything together for 8-10 minutes, until shrimp are pink and crispy at the edges, potatoes are tender, and corn is cooked through.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top. Gently toss to mingle flavors.
  9. Serve immediately while shrimp are crispy and butter is warm.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep shrimp and potatoes crispy. Use medium to small shrimp (16-20 count per pound) for even cooking. Watch shrimp closely during the last 8-10 minutes to prevent overcooking. Butter should be softened for even coating. Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
