The origin of the seafood boil!

Seafood boils have been around for centuries! Native Americans along the Gulf Coast were some of the first to boil shellfish and vegetables in large pots over open fires! In 1755, the Acadians, French-speaking settlers from Canada, were deported during the Great Upheaval. Many found refuge in Louisiana, and there they became known as “Cajuns.” These resilient settlers brought their traditions with them, which helped to shape the seafood boil we know and love today! African influence also played a key role, like slow-cooking techniques and bold spicy flavors! It was a fusion of flavors and cultures!

In Louisiana, seafood boils became a whole event! Friends and families would gather outdoors and dig into these steaming piles of shrimp, crab, corn, and sausage!

And so why make this in a sheet pan?

Sheet pan meals are great because they can be a huge time saver when you’re busy! The convenience of throwing all these delicious ingredients onto a sheet pan just can’t be beat! Sheet pans are so versatile! They can be used in baking cakes, melting chocolate, meal prepping! And it’s basically a one pot dish!

Did you know?

Studies show that Americans on average spend over 6 full days a YEAR just washing dishes!

What ingredients do I need to make this?

Shrimp
Andouille Sausage
Little Potatoes
Onion
Garlic
Corn
Butter
Cajun Seasoning
Old Bay
Salt

For Serving:

Lemon
Parsley

Equipment Needed:

• Large Baking Sheet
• Stockpot
• Cutting Board
• Chef Knife
• Juicer
• Zester
• Strainer

How do I make it?

First, you’ll want to prep all of your veggies. Slice the onion into half-moons, mince the garlic, shuck the corn and cut the cobs into 4 pieces. Juice and zest the lemon. Carefully peel shrimp and pinch the tails off and cut the sausage into 1-inch rounds. Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with tinfoil for easy cleanup. Lightly spray with cooking spray.

Fill a large pot with water and a dash of salt and bring to a boil. Boil the baby potatoes for 10 minutes, stirring in the pieces of corn in the last 5 minutes. Drain.

Add the potatoes, corn cob pieces, onion, shrimp, and sausage to the sheet pan. In a small bowl, melt the butter and whisk in the garlic and spices.

Drizzle it over everything and then toss liberally with your hands. Bake it!

Next, garnish with lemon juice, zest, and parsley, if desired! Enjoy!

Tips:

• This recipe wasn’t too spicy, but there’s definitely a little kick. For a milder version, skip adding the Cajun seasoning and up the salt by 1/4 tsp to balance out the flavors. If you want it to be REALLY spicy, consider adding 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper.
• This recipe will keep for 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
