# 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 Advice:

01 -
  • Everything roasts together on one pan, so cleanup is practically nonexistent
  • The high heat concentrates the spices while keeping shrimp impossibly juicy
  • It feeds a crowd but feels special enough for a casual dinner party
02 -
  • Shrimp overcook incredibly fast, so pull them when they just turn opaque
  • Cutting potatoes into uniform pieces ensures everything finishes cooking at the same time
03 -
  • Pat shrimp completely dry before seasoning so the spices actually stick
  • Let the pan rest for 5 minutes before serving so the flavors settle
