No-Mess Baked Cajun Shrimp Boil Recipe With Corn, Potatoes & Sausage by Donna John
Shrimp boils and summer just go together! Down south, when we can't get crawfish because it's out of season, we turn to shrimp. There's nothing like a pile of spicy shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn in front of you – and a bunch of napkins. But boiling shrimp outside does take some time and energy. What if I told you that you can have a no-mess shrimp boil without getting out in the heat or lots of equipment? Well, you can with this easy baked Cajun shrimp recipe!
You don't need a big propane-fueled cooking pot for this seafood dinner. All you need are two baking sheets, a soup pot and the following ingredients: potatoes, corn on the cob, an onion, shrimp, sausage, butter, garlic, Old Bay seasoning and dried Italian seasoning. The potatoes, corn and onion are boiled on the stove until tender, then join the shrimp and sausage on baking sheets. Everything is coated in butter seasoned with the Old Bay and Italian seasoning. Bake for about 15 minutes. No mess, great taste and easy cleanup.
Serve this no-mess baked Cajun shrimp boil at your next get-together or just for dinner on Monday night. It's that easy. If you like to dip your shrimp, try creamy Cajun dipping sauce, remoulade sauce, cocktail sauce or tater sauce.
