Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner

We have this place called the Crab Pot in Seattle that we absolutely adore where they cook all the seafood you order, along with potatoes, corn, andouille sausage, and seasoning. Then they dump it all on the table for a giant messy seafood feast! It's super fun!

Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner is my rendition of that classic Crab Bake, like they serve at the Crab Pot minus the crab on this occasion, since I didn't have them on hand. 

Whether you just need a quick dinner for a busy weeknight, or having company, Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Sheet Pan dinner is always a favorite, quick, and easy dinner.

  1. i've gone to boiling crab (which i'm betting is very similar to crab pot), and it was so tasty! just super painful; i realized i had a cut on my thumb, which didn't translate well with the spicy sauce. ack.

    1. Ouch! Spice and cuts never mix well! I bet the boiling crab is like the crab pot, the shells on crab are so sharp!

  2. if using sweet/spicy Italian sausage instead, should I precook them?

    1. I would so it's easy to slice, also they might need longer then the shrimp.

  3. would scallops instead of shrimp change cooking time at all?

    1. It will depend on the size of scallops. You'll probably just need to keep an eye on it. Thanks, Serena

  4. This looks SO good! If I want to make it for someone who can't eat corn, what would be a good substitute?

    1. Cauliflower would probably work well for a substitute.. You could always leave out the corn and serve another veggie on the side.

  5. I don't know why everyone wants to change this recipe. This is a S. Louisiana dish and it's wonderful prepared without changing anything. I'm making it again to take to a Superbowl party. Thank you for this fun recipe!
