Nutrition
Nutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.
Where are the nutrition facts and the portion amount? I actually Sauteed the recipe it was delish.
Are you using uncooked, not frozen shrimp?
Do you use raw shrimp or already cooked shrimp?
Hi! Do you use cooked or raw shrimp? Thanks.
You mentioned brown rice or quinoa. Do you have to make that separate?
Yes, those are optional side dishes for you to try with sheet pan. Hope that you enjoy it! XOXO
Just wondering if cooking the shrimp for so long makes it rubbery.
It turns out perfectly with this recipe. If you are nervous you are welcome to alter the recipe in way to make it your own. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for following along with me! XOXO
Where doI I. buy those sheet trays
You can get sheet pans at any grocery store or kitchen store that sells them. They are great to have! Hope you can find them! XOXO
I made this last night and unfortunately it was super watery. The veggies ended up steamed instead of roasted and the water washed off most of the seasoning. I am wondering what went wrong. Any suggestions?
In looking at the recipe, I anticipated the problem you describe. Both shrimp and the squashes tend to contain a good bit of water. I haven’t tried this recipe, but I plan to cook mine on a wire rack over the sheet pan, in hopes it will at least wick away some liquid and reduce the steam effect. Good luck!
One suggestion is to reduce the number of veggies. Forgot where I got them from, but its true for me:
Overcrowding the pan – When the pan is packed to the gills with veggies, pushed up next to one another, or worse yet, in a double layer, vegetables will steam rather than roast. As they cook, vegetables give off moisture, and when arranged too close together it results in a soggy outcome.
Follow this tip: To achieve beautiful browning and crisp, roasted perfection, vegetables need some breathing room. Arrange vegetables in a single layer and don’t overcrowd the pan
How do I print your recipes?
There is a print icon near the recipe and ingredients for you to print off of. Hope that helps! Thanks so much for reaching out to me! XOXO
Can’t wait to get started cooking this
Could you please clarify if we should use pre-cooked smoked sausage, or uncooked sausage? I’d love to make this but I don’t use sausage (uncooked or cooked) in too many recipes, so I’m not sure which is being asked for in this recipe. Also, do you make your own cajun seasoning or do you use store-bought? Thank you – the recipe looks delicious and I’d love to make it for my family.
I like using the pre-cooked smoked sausage for this but if you prefer the uncooked sausage you will need to bake a little longer on your timing. I use the store bought Cajun seasoning. Thanks for following along with me! XOXO
Do you know the nutrition facts for this?
I like to use skinnytaste.com or myfitnesspal.com to find any nutritional information about recipe. Hope that helps and you can find what you are looking for! XOXO
I see that you have the same recipe for oven and stove. Which would you recommend to do for a less greasy meal. Just curious if you prefer one over the other. I am planning on adding chicken also. When would you cook the chicken first before adding the sausage and vegetables. I hope to hear from you soon. I’m cooking it tonight.
I like the sheet pan in the oven. It seems to have less grease and is a little quicker and less standing at the stove cooking. You are welcome to cook the chicken first or just make room for it on the sheet pan and bake it until it the temperature is at 165*. XOXO
Oh my, such a great and tasty meal was easy to make, especially for a working mom. My family absolutely loved it. Thanks so much, I changed it up a liitle and added some freshly squeed lemon juice and a variety of other seasonings, just amazing, thanks for the idea.
You should try Old Bay Seasoning instead. Such a fantastic spice blend
My mouth is on fire!!!! This recipe is super easy and makes a TON!!! I did way more than 1 lb of shrimp and I did a whole bunch of asparagus, so I ended up doing 3 tbsp of seasoning, but I probably should have left it at 2 tbsp!!! Definitely would make again, but not add extra Cajun seasoning ?
Oh no!! I am so sorry it was a little hot for you! I am glad you still liked it and it all worked out! Thanks so much for sharing! XOXO
I opened the page for the recipe hoping to only find a recipe. I was surprised and thought that I had reached a dating page of unobtainable beautiful women. Needless to say I scrolled down to find an amazing recipe that I have tried. Thank you so much for a recipe that will feed a single person (me) for 2 or 3 dinners and/or lunches.
Hi! This may seem like a silly question but is the sausage that you use for this recipe the already fully cooked kind? If so, what brand do you like to use? I love sausage recipes, but have always been confused by if the recipe is calling for the uncooked vs. already cooked.
hey girl- this looks so yummy!
Is the calorie count for sure accurate on here? I found this recipe link on the Yummy app and they say 450 🙁
This calorie count is to feed about 4 to 6 people. I have the calorie count for 4 people and that each of them will get 1/4 of the sheet pan meal. Hope that helps!
