Ingredients
- 2 pounds large jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined, leave tails on
- 1 pound smoked sausage kielbasa or andouille, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 4 ears corn each cut into 4 pieces
- 1 pound small red potatoes cut in half
- 1 medium onion cleaned and cut into large pieces
- 4 lemons 2 for cooking, 2 for serving
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cleaned and smashed
- ⅓ cup seafood seasoning like Old Bay
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley plus more for garnish chopped
Instructions
- Fill large pot with water. Quarter two lemons and add to the water. Then add onion, garlic and seafood seasoning to water. Bring water to boil.
- Clean and cut potatoes in half. Add the potatoes to the boiling water, cook for 10-12 minutes or until just barely fork tender
- Clean and cut corn, add to boiling water along with the sliced smoked sausage. Cook for 5-6 minutes.
- Add shrimp to boiling water and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until pink.
- Drain water and place the shrimp mixture on a large baking sheet.
- In a microwave safe bowl melt the butter. Add salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley to butter and whisk to combine.
- Pour ½ of butter mixture over shrimp mixture and stir to coat. Reserve remaining butter mixture for serving.
- Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemons
- Sprinkle additional seafood seasoning to taste, if desired
- Serve immediately with reserved butter mixture.
Notes
- It’s really a whole meal, but you can serve it with some bread on the side. When I make this as part of a potluck or BBQ I love to add summer salads on the side like Macaroni Salad or Potato Salad.
- You can use frozen ones, but you will want to thaw them first!
- When I make this during the summer I love using fresh corn because it tastes amazing and is usually pretty inexpensive. During the winter, I’ve used frozen corn on the cob – it cooks in the same amount of time as fresh.
- You can serve it straight from the sheet pan or place newspapers all over your table and place everything directly on it. Just have plenty of napkins on hand! During the summer we do this at our table outside and the kids love it!
