Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 pack andouille sausage sliced into rounds
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 zucchinis sliced into half moons
  • 1 yellow squash sliced into half moons
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • Olive oil to coat
  • Creole seasoning to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Add the sausage, bell peppers, onion, zucchini, squash, and broccoli to the sheet pan. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated and spread into a single layer.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes until the vegetables are beginning to soften and the sausage is starting to brown.
  4. Push everything to the sides of the pan. Add the shrimp to the center, drizzle with a little olive oil, and season with Creole seasoning.
  5. Return to the oven and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes until the shrimp are pink, curled, and cooked through and the vegetables have caramelized edges.
  6. Serve immediately directly from the pan.

Notes

  • Add the shrimp in the second stage rather than from the beginning. Shrimp cooks in 8 to 10 minutes and will be rubbery and overcooked if it goes in with the vegetables for the full bake.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan. Use two sheet pans if needed so everything roasts rather than steams.
  • Slice the vegetables into similar-sized pieces so everything finishes at the same time.
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon over the finished pan right before serving brightens every flavor on the sheet.
