Ingredients
Scale
Seafood
- 2 pounds large shrimp (with skin-on)
- 2 dozen little neck clams (soaked in cold salted water for 20 minutes)
Meat
- 2 links andouille sausages (cut into 1 inch sections on an angle)
Vegetables & Others
- 1 pound red baby potatoes
- 3 large ears of corn (husk removed, cut into 2 inch sections)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Chopped parsley for garnish
- 2 lemons (zest of one lemon, other lemon cut into wedges for serving)
Seasonings & Fats
- 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 3/4 stick salted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (for clam soaking)
Instructions
- Soak Clams: In a medium bowl, add the clams and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and refrigerate for 20 minutes to help the clams expel any sand inside.
- Cook Potatoes and Corn: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add baby potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes until fork tender. Add corn sections during last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain and pat dry with a towel.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting.
- Prepare Seasoning Butter: In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Stir thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Assemble on Sheet Pan: Spread potatoes, corn, sausage, clams, and shrimp evenly on a large sheet pan. Pour the seasoning butter over everything. Use your hands to toss and coat all ingredients well.
- Arrange Ingredients: Arrange the ingredients in a single layer for even cooking. If needed, slightly overlap a few shrimp over other ingredients to fit everything.
- Roast: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until shrimp are opaque and fully cooked, and clams have opened.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, zest a lemon over the top, and sprinkle chopped parsley as garnish. Serve family-style directly from the sheet pan with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- Ensure clams are thoroughly cleaned and any unopened clams after cooking should be discarded.
- Soaking clams in salted water helps purge sand and grit for a cleaner taste.
- Use gloves or hands to toss ingredients for even coating with seasoning butter.
- Adjust cayenne pepper amount for preferred spice level.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
