There’s just something about the zesty Cajun spices that excite the palate. It’s an easy one-pan recipe loaded with shrimp, sausage, and tender colorful vegetables.

Sheet pan dinners are my favorite because you cook everything on the same pan, and it makes clean-up a breeze. I have some go-to sheet pan recipes I’d love for you to try next. This cashew chicken is always a hit, along with this parmesan garlic chicken, and these cheddar pork chops! Put these on your dinner menu right away!

Ingredients Needed

These ingredients are simple and help this sheet pan recipe to come together so quickly. I always have Cajun seasoning on hand, so all that’s left is the sausage, shrimp, and veggies! So easy to pick up from the grocery store. You can check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact ingredient measurements.

  • Large Shrimp: Peeled and deveined ahead of time. I love to leave the tails on, but they can be removed.
  • Pork or Chicken Sausage: Slicing the sausage on the diagonal makes it so pretty!
  • Zucchini: Small to medium zucchini is perfect for this recipe.
  • Yellow Squash: I love the combination of zucchini and yellow squash.
  • Asparagus: Vibrant green asparagus cut into thirds.
  • Red Bell Pepper: Use any bell pepper you would like! You will love the added crunchy texture.
  • Olive Oil: To coat the ingredients because it helps the seasoning stick.
  • Cajun Seasoning: The star of the show! Use store-bought or my homemade recipe.
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste if needed. Cajun seasoning can be salty, so taste it before adding more salt.

Let’s Make Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Vegetable Sheet Pan

Make This Recipe in an Air Fryer

Would you rather not heat up your kitchen and make this in the air fryer? Go for it! Follow the recipe then cook this Cajun shrimp and sausage vegetable recipe in the air fryer. Cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 12 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through. This is a great alternative!

Storing Leftovers

Storing leftovers is simple to do! Store it with brown rice or quinoa because it makes it the perfect lunch. I always serve this sheet pan meal with rice or quinoa because it makes this a complete meal to eat throughout the week. You will love these leftovers!

  • In the Refrigerator: After your chicken and potatoes have cooled, place them in an airtight container and store them in your fridge. They will last for 2-3 days.
  • To Reheat: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the chicken and veggies in a 9×12 baking dish and add 2 tablespoons of water to the dish. Cover it with foil and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  1. This dish is amazing and easy to prepare. I’ve made this several times it’s a big hit with my family I’m making it tonight for dinner this time I added onions and green bell peppers and beef sausage.

  2. 5 stars
    Uh… this was absolutely amazing! My husband and I loved this meal so much. I cooked some mashed potatoes and we piled the sausage/shrimp mixture on top. I didn’t use asparagus. I used 2 red bell peppers, 1 yellow squash, & 1 zucchini. Lots of oil & “Slap Yo Mamma” seasoning. 10/10

  3. 5 stars
    This recipe is absolutely amazing! The flavor combination is out of this world! The cajun spice I used was right on the money, but I beleive this meal would be phenominal without the cajun spice for those who don’t like spicy. This recipe would be good with chicken breast for those who don’t like shrimp. Prep and clean up was incredibly fast! My husband said it was one of the best meals I’ve ever made! Next time I will add onion.

  4. 5 stars
    Made recipe 3 times but veggies turn out soft, because lots of liquid in baking dish/pan due to veggies (squash/zucchini) being water soluble veggies; as they bake. Do you drain mid cooking? Or any recommendations to reduce that liquid?

    1. A Low Country Boil can be made in the same way. However, I usually have two smaller sheet pans, one for protein and one for vegetables. I can cook the veggies a little longer, remove excess liquid, and control the amount of oil I use in each pan. I hope this helps you.

    2. Over crowding on the sheet pan will steam the veggies. Try spreading the mixture out further and you will have veggies on the roasted side.

    1. I use fresh shrimp but you can use frozen shrimp as long as they are thawed before using them in this recipe.

  5. 5 stars
    This is amazing! I struggle to surprise my hobbyist chef husband and this recipe is so quick and easy. He loved it, I loved it! Might become a regular in our house

  6. 4 stars
    If you double the recipe, don’t double the spices. My family and I almost died it was so spicy! I had to throw leftovers out.
