Ingredients

  • 2 lbs baby yellow potatoes whole
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 ears of corn
  • 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 13 oz smoked sausage turkey, pork or beef
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro finely chopped

Cajun Butter-

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with water and season with salt. Add the baby potatoes to the pot. If some potatoes are larger, cut them in half for even cooking.
    2 lbs baby yellow potatoes, whole, 2 tsp salt
  • Bring the water to a boil over medium heat and cook the potatoes for 15 minutes, until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, cut the corn cobs into 3-4 smaller pieces. Add the corn cobs to the boiling potatoes during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
    3 ears of corn
  • Drain the water from the boiling potatoes and corn.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the sausage into thin rounds. Peel and remove the tails from the shrimp and add to a bowl. (Leaving the tails on the shrimp is optional.)
  • In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, old bays seasoning, salt and pepper.
    1 stick unsalted butter, melted, 3 garlic cloves, minced, 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning, ½ Tbsp old bays seasoning, ¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • Add the sliced sausage to the pot with the drained potatoes and corn. Pour the majority of the melted butter mixture into the pot. (Reserve about 1/3 of this mixture for the shrimp and for drizzling at the end.)
    13 oz smoked sausage, turkey, pork or beef
  • Close the pot with the lid and give it a good shake, mixing the potatoes, sausage, and corn in the butter mixture.
  • Dump everything from the pot to the lined baking sheet, spreading evenly. (Be sure to pour any leftover butter from the pot over the vegetables and sausage.)
  • Add about 1 tbsp of the leftover garlic mixture into the bowl of shrimp and toss to coat the shrimp. Add the shrimp on top of the potatoes, corn, and sausage on the baking sheet.
    1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Bake uncovered at 425°F for 8-10 minutes, until shrimp is cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and drizzle with the remaining butter and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
    1 lemon, 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges and butter for dipping. (Make some more of the garlic butter mixture for dipping if desired.)
