03 - Roast potatoes for 15 minutes.
04 - Meanwhile, in the same bowl, mix the corn, sausage, and onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Old Bay, and ½ teaspoon smoked paprika.
05 - After 15 minutes, add the corn, sausage, and onion to the sheet pan with the potatoes. Roast for another 10 minutes.
06 - In the bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining olive oil, Old Bay, paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

08 - Remove from oven. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Everything roasts together on one pan, meaning less cleanup and more flavor as the juices mingle
- The shrimp cook quickly so they stay tender while the potatoes get perfectly soft
02 -
- Shrimp overcook quickly, so set your timer and check them at the 5 minute mark
- Crowding the pan will steam instead of roast, so use your largest pan or two smaller ones
03 -
- Buy the best shrimp you can find since they are the star of the show
- Let the pan rest for 5 minutes before serving so the flavors settle
