Happy #EasyMondays loves!
I made this recipe a couple weeks ago and both hubby and I thought it was love at first bite. The potatoes get such a nice golden crisp to them, the shallots lend a slightly sweet flavor, the sausage is completely customizable but I highly recommend using an andouille sausage and the shrimp come out just perfectly cooked and juicy. The seasoning on this guys? So good. I made a big jar in fact that way I have cajun seasoning on hand for whenever I feel like spicing things up.
Would this probably come out tasty with just some Old Bay sprinkled on it? Yes, probably. Old Bay is delicious. But it takes less than a minute to put this seasoning together so might as well!

Sheet Pan Cajun Shrimp with Honey Garlic Butter Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 lb small red potatoes, cut in half or quartered depending on size
- 3 large shallots, cut into wedges
- 5 tbsp butter, divided
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 fully cooked sausages, I used andouille
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 lemons
Cajun seasoning:
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp paprika, I used 1 tsp regular and 1 tsp smoked
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cayenne
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Honey lemon garlic butter:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 lemon, squeezed
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, toss potatoes and shallots with 2 tbsp melted butter, 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tsp of cajun seasoning. Spread onto parchment lined pan. Slice sausages and sprinkle on top. Bake for 15 minutes, until potatoes are just fork tender.
- While that's in the oven, prep the shrimp. In a microwave safe bowl, melt 1 tbsp butter. Squeeze in half a lemon and mix 1 tsp cajun seasoning in. Pour over shrimp and toss to coat.
- Take the sheet pan out of the oven and move the potatoes and sausage over to half of the pan. Pour the shrimp onto the empty half of the pan and bake for about 6 minutes, until shrimp are pink.
- While that's baking, make the honey lemon garlic butter. Combine all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Give it a stir. Serve with the shrimp, sausage and potatoes. Slice remaining lemons into wedges for a garnish.
