Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, 8 ounces sliced andouille sausage, 1 large red bell pepper sliced, 1 large yellow bell pepper sliced, and 1 medium sliced red onion.
  2. Step 2: Drizzle everything with 3 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning evenly over the mixture. Toss well to coat all ingredients in oil and spices.
  3. Step 3: Spread the mixture in a single layer on the sheet pan and roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway, until shrimp are opaque and vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with lemon wedges to squeeze over for a bright finish.
