Parboiling the Potatoes & Corn on the Cob
Begin by parboiling the potatoes. Parboiling is essentially pre-cooking your food but not completely. We want the potatoes to be cooked almost all of the way through because they will finish cooking in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
Even though we are working with small potatoes, I like to cut some of the bigger ones in half. This ensures that they are all the same size and will cook evenly.
We are going to do the same thing with the corn on the cob. Cut each cob into four pieces.
Once the potatoes are parboiled, remove them from the water, to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Then add the corn on the cob to the same water. Cook for about 5 minutes.
When the vegetables are boiling, you can cut up your andouille sausage. I love to keep it large chunks that I cut on the bias {or diagonally}.
Lemon Cajun Butter Sauce
Then turn your attention to the butter sauce. Melt a stick of butter in the microwave, add the Old Bay and Creole seasonings. Then squeeze in the juice of one half of a lemon. Whisk ingredients together.
Pour about half of the butter mixture on the par cooked potatoes and corn on the cob. Mix until evenly coated.
Assembling & Cooking the Sheet Pan Cajun Shrimp Boil
Then add everything to a greased baking sheet. I like to cook the shrimp on one end of the sheet pan to be sure that they cook evenly. Then I distribute them throughout the pan after cooking.
Pour the rest of the butter mixture over the shrimp and sausage.
Bake for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees. It doesn’t take long. The shrimp will turn pink and the sausage will warm nicely.
I don’t know about you but a good sheet pan dinner is pretty hard to beat. One pan of food that covers everyone’s taste buds. I can’t wait to serve this one outside because for some reason it just screams summer.
