Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 12 oz pre-cooked andouille chicken sausage, sliced into bite-size circles
- 1 large green or red bell pepper, cut into ½-inch slices
- 1 medium onion, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 8 oz grape or cherry tomatoes
- 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced into ½-inch pieces
- 1 Tablespoon Creole or Cajun seasoning blend, divided*
- 1- pound uncooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail off
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest, optional
- Optional garnish: lemon wedges, hot sauce, fresh chopped parsley, sliced scallions.
*You can make your own Creole seasoning blend by mixing the following spices in a small bowl:
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more if you like heat
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°. Mist a large sheet pan (or 2 standard-size pans) with nonstick oil spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl add 1 tablespoon olive oil, sausage, peppers, onion, tomatoes, and celery. Add 1 ½ teaspoons of Creole/Cajun seasoning blend. Mix until everything is well coated in oil and spices. Spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet(s) into one layer. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until veggies start to become nicely charred on the edges.
- While veggies and sausage are roasting in oven, add the shrimp in a medium bowl and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and remaining 1 ½ tsp Creole/Cajun seasoning blend. Add optional lemon zest, if desired. Mix well until shrimp are evenly coated.
- When veggies and sausage reach 20-minute mark in oven, remove sheet pan(s) and using tongs, place shrimp on cooked veggies and sausage. Roast for another 8 to 10 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. (Larger prawns will take about 10 to 12 minutes).
- Serve immediately with your choice of rice (brown rice, cauliflower rice, etc.), and garnish with optional fresh lemon wedges, hot sauce, parsley, and/or scallions.
