CAJUN SHRIMP & SAUSAGE SHEET PAN with VEGGIES

Here’s a Cajun Shrimp & Sausage Sheet Pan with Veggies recipe—quick, flavorful, and all baked on one pan for easy cleanup.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

• 1 small red onion, sliced

• 1 zucchini, sliced

• 2–3 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 1/4 tsp salt

• Optional garnish: chopped parsley, lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Preheat oven:

   • Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

2. Prep the ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, combine shrimp, sausage, and vegetables.

   • Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.

3. Arrange on sheet pan:

   • Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake:

   • Bake for 12–15 minutes, tossing halfway through.

   • Shrimp should be pink and opaque; veggies should be tender-crisp.

5. Serve:

   • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

   • Optional: serve over rice, quinoa, or with crusty bread to soak up juices.

💡 Tips:

• If using raw sausage, slice thinly to ensure it cooks at the same time as shrimp.

• For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or drizzle with hot sauce before serving.

• You can swap vegetables with whatever you have on hand: broccoli, asparagus, or cherry tomatoes work well.
