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

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

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.

    Just made this tonight & it is a HIT! Family loves it & I love the leftovers! Did not change a thing, other than added an extra tablespoon of seasoning due to extra shrimp….then checked reviews while it was cooking & thought uhoh! But it was perfect for us! Thanks for another great recipe!

  2. 5 stars
    I made this tonight using my homemade Cajun seasoning. Holy deliciousness! So fast and easy! The only changes I made were, I added chopped red onion and topped our servings with grated Parmesan cheese. Hubby says it’s over the top with the parm. Definitely making this again, thank you for the awesome, easy, workin’ girl kind of recipe. I used Hillshire Farm chicken garlic sausage. Hubs says he’d like me to add scallops next time 😬

  3. 5 stars
    This was so good! I used a little less than a tblsp of the Cajun seasoning, because we don’t like too much spice. It was so flavorful and easy.

  4. A true winner at our house. Easy, quick and for two people a two night dinner. Better on night 2!

    I might even try it with chicken.

  5. Hello,
    I tend to avoid Cajun since I don’t eat spicy food. I’m wondering how spicy it is by adding 2 Tbs of Cajun seasoning? Any suggestions of seasoning instead of Cajun? Thank you!

    1. It does add a kick but leaving it out or reducing the amount of seasoning will still taste delicious.

  6. 5 stars
    Made this for dinner tonight. Yum! Will be adding this to my rotation since it is super simple but packed with so much flavor! Thanks for sharing!

  7. Do you use raw shrimp or cooked? I was going to use frozen. Planned on thawing it first then baking it with the rest. Thoughts? Will it come out watery?

  8. I don’t see that the question about whether to use precooked or cooked shrimp? Can you please advise? I am looking forward to making this!

    1. Precooked shrimp works great and so does the cooked shrimp for a quicker bake time. Enjoy making this! It is simple and delicious!

  9. Going to make this tonight, just to let you know when I tried to print the rescipe using the print icon it comes out blank in print preview and won’t print.

    1. Oh no! I am sorry that you are having a hard time printing. I tried printing it and it worked great. Let me know if it does not print for you.

  10. Haven’t made this yet. Dish sounds & looks delicious. However what do you think about seasoning everything together except the sausage since the sausage is already seasoned & then adding everything to the sheet pan? Just asking your opinion.

    1. Yes, that sounds great too! If you already love the sausage flavor that is a great idea! Sheet pans are fun to mix and match and bake things easily. Hope you enjoy!

  11. I found a website that will put a nutrition fact to your recipes. Verywellfit.com. don’t think that I can add a pic to this post.

    1. Do you remember what you got using that tool? I just tried it and got 551 calories per serving. I assumed the recipe made 4 servings.
