Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large raw shrimp (21/25 count), peeled and deveined
  • 1 lb small waxy potatoes (baby red potatoes, Yukon Gold, or creamer potatoes), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, divided
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 orange bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium yellow or red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)
  • Optional: pre-cooked smoked beef sausage, sliced into rounds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with half of the Cajun seasoning, and add the minced garlic. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are starting to soften and the edges are lightly golden.
  4. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the shrimp. In a separate bowl, combine the thawed shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the rest of the Cajun seasoning. Toss gently to coat the shrimp evenly.
  5. Once the vegetables have had their initial roast, carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven. Add the seasoned shrimp to the pan, distributing them evenly among the vegetables.
  6. Return the sheet pan to the oven and continue to roast for another 8-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and cooked through, and the potatoes are tender and browned.
  7. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired, and with plenty of lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

Keywords: Ensure not to overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking. Pat shrimp dry before seasoning to prevent steaming.
