1. Roast the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the baby potatoes with extra-virgin olive oil and half of the minced garlic, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and lay them out on a large baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until golden.
2. Broil Corn with Potatoes
Switch the oven setting to broil. Rub the corn segments with softened unsalted butter and nestle them among the roasted potatoes. Broil for a few minutes until the corn starts to char slightly at the edges.
3. Add Shrimp and Lemon
Flip the corn for an even char and scatter the jumbo shrimp across the sheet pan. Broil for 2 minutes until they start to curl and turn pink. Flip the shrimp, add lemon wedges among the ingredients, and broil for another 2 minutes.
4. Finish and Serve
Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Squeeze the broiled lemon over the shrimp, potatoes, and corn, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Start with high-quality, fresh shrimp, ideally wild-caught, and use fresh, in-season corn on the cob and the freshest available organic potatoes for better flavor and texture.
Add the shrimp in the last 5-7 minutes of cooking, tossed in olive oil and seasoning, to keep them succulent and avoid rubberiness.
Make your own spice blend including smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Mix with melted butter for deeper flavor penetration.
Preheat your sheet pan before adding ingredients and roast at a high temperature, around 425°F (220°C), for good caramelization and even cooking.
Pre-boil potatoes until just tender before placing them on the sheet pan to ensure all components are cooked perfectly without overcooking the shrimp.
