Ingredients needed to make a Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil.

INGREDIENT NOTES

Shrimp: Raw, jumbo shrimp (12-15 count) work best. You can use smaller shrimp, but if they are too small, they’ll cook too quickly. Opt for large shrimp, if possible! If you use frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw them completely, then pat off any excess water before cooking.

Corn: Fresh whole-ear sweet corn is best, if it’s in season! If not, frozen (defrosted) whole-ear corn works OK too.

Baby Potatoes: Baby red potatoes or baby Yukon Golds work best for this recipe. I used a combo of both!

Here are some quick visual instructions. Remember that full instructions with exact ingredients will be in the recipe card below!
