# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, corn, onion, and sausage. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1½ teaspoons Old Bay, paprika, half the salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
03 - Spread the vegetable mixture on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
04 - Meanwhile, in the same bowl, toss shrimp with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon Old Bay, cayenne, garlic, and the rest of the salt and pepper.
05 - Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Scatter the seasoned shrimp over the partially cooked vegetables and sausage. Return to the oven and roast for 8–10 minutes more, or until shrimp are pink and opaque and potatoes are fork-tender.
06 - Garnish with parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The oven does all the work while you catch up with friends or open a bottle of wine
  • Cleanup takes five minutes flat since everything roasts on one pan
  • The spices caramelize on the sheet pan creating those crispy bits everyone fights over
02 -
  • Shrimp go from perfect to rubbery in seconds so watch them closely during that final 10 minutes
  • The vegetables should be fork tender before adding shrimp or they will still be crunchy when the seafood is done
  • Everything continues cooking on the hot pan so serve within 5 minutes of taking it out
03 -
  • Pat the shrimp really dry before seasoning or the spices will slide right off
  • Let the pan cool slightly before cleaning or the caramelized spices will become cement
