Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 12 oz smoked sausage (andouille or kielbasa), sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 zucchini or yellow squash, sliced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish, red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment or foil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread sausage, peppers, onion, and zucchini on the sheet pan. Drizzle with two-thirds of the Cajun butter and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Roast for 15–20 minutes until veggies are tender and slightly charred.
  5. Add shrimp to the pan, drizzle with remaining Cajun butter, and toss to combine.
  6. Return to oven and roast for 7–10 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  7. Garnish with parsley or a squeeze of lemon. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Add pre-cooked baby potatoes or corn for a heartier dish.
  • Use chicken or turkey sausage for a lighter option.
  • Double the Cajun butter for more sauce or to serve on the side.
  • For dairy-free, replace butter with additional olive oil or a vegan butter substitute.
  • Store leftovers in fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently in skillet or microwave.
