Making this tonight, adding cherry tomatoes and a side of cilantro rice. Looks delicious
Hi can you freeze the left overs?
You could freeze the shrimp and sausage, but I don’t recommend freezing the veggies, there is too much water in them and they will become mushy.
Use raw shrimp?
Correct!
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.
Very simple weeknight meal that was a huge hit! Thanks.
Hi!
If I use small shrimp I have to change de baking time or ins´t necesary?
Tasted amazing but took much longer for veg to cook
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
LOVE LOVE LOVE Slap Yo Mama! Did you use all ready to eat sausage? Thanks
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.
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?
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.
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.
Do you normally
Use frozen shrimp?
I use fresh shrimp but you can use frozen shrimp as long as they are thawed before using them in this recipe.
Are you precooking the sausage and then slicing?
No, the sausage will cook in the dish. Just slice it and add it to the pan!
Hi this is great but where is the sugar coming from?
The sugar is coming from the natural sugars in the vegetables.
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
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.
Can I prepare everything and store in the frig the night before I cook it?
That should work fine!
