Ok, I know it's called a "boil," but forget that. This method is way better. The shrimp come out perfectly cooked, there's less mess, and everything tastes a little more distinct, rather than all sort of tasting like each other.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound baby Dutch yellow potatoes
3 ears corn, each cut crosswise into 2 or 3 pieces each
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Cajun* seasoning
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, thawed if necessary
1 (12.8-ounce) package smoked andouille sausage, thinly sliced
1 lemon, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook potatoes until just tender and parboiled, about 10-13 minutes. Stir in corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking time; drain well.
In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic and Cajun seasoning.
Place potatoes, corn, shrimp and sausage in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Stir in butter mixture and gently toss to combine.
Place into oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and corn is tender.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges, garnished with parsley, if desired.
