Recipe walkthrough: Instructions
This is an overview of the recipe steps. For more detailed instructions visit the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

- Step 3: Drizzle over the veggies, shrimp and sausage and toss to evenly coat.
- Step 4: Lay out on a baking sheet and bake in a pre-heated oven for 20 minutes.

Recipe variations and substitute ideas
- Use Smoked Sausage: Smoked sausage or Andouille sausage gives the dish a deeper, smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the Cajun seasoning.
- Adjust Spices to Taste: If you like it spicier, add extra Cajun seasoning or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Add More Veggies: Feel free to add other veggies like cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or asparagus to make the dish even heartier.
- Add Chicken for more protein: Use small chunks of chicken instead of shrimp, for your protein.
- Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be sure to keep an eye on them to avoid tough, rubbery shrimp.

Frequently asked questions: FAQs
Yes, you can use frozen shrimp, but be sure to thaw them first and pat them dry with paper towels before cooking.
While this recipe is best served fresh, you can prep the shrimp and sausage with the seasoning earlier in the day and store it in the fridge. Just bake it when you’re ready to eat.
