04 - Meanwhile, in the same bowl, toss corn pieces and sausage with another tablespoon of olive oil and half the remaining Old Bay.
05 - Add corn and sausage to the pan with potatoes. Roast for 7 minutes.
06 - Toss shrimp and red onion in the bowl with remaining olive oil and Old Bay.

08 - Remove from oven. Drizzle with melted butter if using and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The entire cooks in under an hour with almost zero cleanup
  • Roasting concentrates the sweetness of corn and the spicy kick of sausage
  • Everyone builds their own perfect bite right from the pan
02 -
  • Shrimp overcook dramatically fast, so set a timer and check at the 6 minute mark
  • Crowding the pan creates steam instead of roasting, so use two sheets if necessary
  • The potatoes need the head start or they will be undercooked when shrimp are done
03 -
  • Use a rimmed sheet pan or the juices will burn in your oven bottom
  • Line the pan with parchment if you plan to skip the cleanup completely
  • Have everything prepped before you start because the timing moves fast once cooking begins
