Ingredients
  

Oven Baked Shrimp Boil Ingredients
  • 1 lb (450g) extra-large raw shrimp peeled, deveined, tail-on
  • 13 oz (370g) smoked andouille sausage cut into thick coins
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) baby red potatoes skin-on, cut into chunks
  • 3 ears fresh yellow corn on the cob shucked and cut into 1-inch rounds
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil for roasting
  • 1 tsp (5g) kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp (2g) black pepper freshly cracked
  • 0.5 cup (113g) unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp (14g) Cajun seasoning adjust to taste based on salt content
  • 0.25 cup (15g) fresh parsley finely chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-Duty Rimmed Baking Sheet Essential for proper roasting and preventing spills.
  • 1 Metal Tongs For safely tossing hot ingredients.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the skin-on red potato chunks with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Spread them in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes until the edges just begin to soften.
  3. Remove the pan from the oven. Scatter the thick-cut andouille sausage coins and corn on the cob rounds among the potatoes. Return to the oven for 15 minutes until the sausage has slightly charred edges and the corn shows light browning.
  4. Remove the pan again. Nestle the tail-on shrimp onto the hot baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes, just until the shrimp are opaque, pinkish-white, and curled.
  5. While the shrimp cooks, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in the Cajun seasoning to create a glistening, orange-tinted sauce.
  6. Pour the warm spiced butter over all the hot ingredients on the baking sheet and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish generously with finely chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

Tip 1: Always use raw shrimp to prevent a rubbery texture.
Tip 2: If your Cajun seasoning is very salty, omit the extra kosher salt on the potatoes.
