Description
A quick, flavorful 30-minute weeknight dinner featuring roasted shrimp, spicy andouille sausage, and bell peppers on a single sheet pan for easy cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced into thick rounds
- 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and patted dry
- 3 large bell peppers (mixed colors), chopped into 1-inch chunks
- 1 large yellow onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted or very soft
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 stalks green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: 2 stalks celery, diced
- Optional: 1 cup okra, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Chop bell peppers into 1-inch chunks and cut yellow onion into wedges. Slice andouille sausage into ½-inch thick rounds.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine bell peppers, onions, sausage, butter, Cajun seasoning, and minced garlic. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetable and sausage mixture onto the prepared sheet pan in a single layer. Do not crowd the pan.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to allow sausage to render fat and veggies to soften.
- Remove pan from oven. Scatter dried shrimp evenly over the top. Drizzle any remaining seasoning/butter over shrimp.
- Return to oven and roast for 7-8 minutes until shrimp are pink, opaque, and curled into a ‘C’ shape.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
Pat shrimp dry thoroughly to ensure roasting instead of steaming. Do not crowd the pan; use two pans if necessary for proper browning. Shrimp cook quickly, so add them in the last 7-8 minutes to avoid rubbery texture. Serve over white rice or with cornbread.
