Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large (16 to 20-count) shrimp in the shell
  • 1 pound smoked kielbasa, sliced ½-inch-thick diagonally
  • 3 ears corn, husked and cut crosswise in 1½-inch chunks

Vegetables and Aromatics:

  • 1 pound small (1-inch diameter) Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 2 lemons
  • 2½ tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Seasonings and Oils:

  • Good olive oil
  • Old Bay Seasoning
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly heat the oven to 220°C / 425°F, ensuring the temperature is precise for optimal roasting.
  2. Slice potatoes into even chunks and place them in a spacious 33 × 40 cm / 13 × 16-inch roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil, generously coat with Old Bay seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes cut-side down in a single layer, creating maximum surface contact for crispy edges.
  3. Prepare corn and kielbasa by coating them with olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. After 12 minutes of initial potato roasting, flip the potatoes using a flat spatula and distribute corn and sliced kielbasa evenly across the pan.
  4. Marinate shrimp in a separate bowl with olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Gently introduce the seasoned shrimp to the roasting pan after the corn and kielbasa have cooked for 10 minutes.
  5. Continue roasting for an additional 10-15 minutes, carefully turning the shrimp midway to guarantee even cooking and prevent overcooking. The shrimp should appear opaque and slightly curled when perfectly done.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the entire dish to brighten the flavors and add citrusy notes.
  7. Serve immediately in large bowls, accompanied by extra lemon wedges. Provide a separate bowl for discarding corn cobs and shrimp shells to maintain a neat dining experience.

Notes

  • Protect shrimp tenderness by cooking them in their shells, which locks in moisture and enhances natural flavors during roasting.
  • Maximize crispy potato edges by placing cut sides directly against the hot baking sheet, creating golden-brown caramelized surfaces.
  • Distribute seasonings individually across potatoes, corn, and shrimp before combining, ensuring each ingredient absorbs maximum flavor potential.
  • Handle ingredients delicately with soft spatula movements when layering to maintain structural integrity of potatoes and sausage pieces.
  • Complement final dish with fresh lemon wedges, allowing diners to customize tanginess and brighten overall meal experience.
