Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Vegetable Sheet Pan is a bold, smoky, and protein-packed one-pan dinner featuring juicy shrimp, spicy sausage, and roasted vegetables tossed in a zesty Cajun seasoning blend. It’s fast, flavorful, and perfect for weeknights or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 12 oz smoked chicken sausage or andouille sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced sausage and vegetables with half of the olive oil and seasonings. Spread evenly on the sheet pan.
  3. Roast for 15 minutes.
  4. Toss shrimp with remaining olive oil and seasonings.
  5. Remove sheet pan from oven, add the seasoned shrimp, and toss lightly to combine. Spread into a single layer.
  6. Return to the oven and roast for 8–10 more minutes, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Notes

  • Use thawed and well‑dried frozen shrimp for best texture.
  • Add potatoes but give them a 10–15 minute head start.
  • Increase Cajun seasoning or add red pepper flakes for more heat.
  • Use plant-based sausage and omit shrimp for a vegan version.
  • Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, grits, or salad for a complete meal.
