Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby Dutch yellow potatoes
  • 3 ears corn, each cut crosswise into 6 pieces
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 (12.8-ounce) package smoked andouille sausage, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with nonstick spray.
  2. Step 2: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the potatoes until they are just tender and parboiled, about 10-13 minutes. Add the corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking time, then drain well.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Old Bay seasoning.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the potatoes, corn, shrimp, and sausage in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the butter mixture over everything and gently toss to combine.
  5. Step 5: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and the corn is tender.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately with lemon wedges and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture.
  • Use fresh corn on the cob for sweeter, juicier kernels.
  • Swap andouille sausage with chorizo or kielbasa for a different flavor profile.
  • Serve with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm gently in the oven at 350 degrees F until heated through, or microwave in short intervals to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
