How to Make a Sheet Pan Low Country Boil
- Preheat the oven to 425°F, and line two large sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Divide the potatoes evenly between the pans. Then, drizzle the olive oil evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle a little Old Bay over the potatoes and gently roll in seasoning to coat. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven, leave them on the pans, and place the corn cobs and sausage in various places around the potatoes. Sprinkle with a bit of Old Bay, and return the pans to the oven, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove the pans from the oven and add the shrimp and crab legs. Add the remaining Old Bay seasoning if desired. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the shrimp is pink and has an opaque appearance. The crab legs should be hot and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges and melted butter.
Tips and Variations:
- Note that the ingredients will be divided between 2 sheet pans. The Old Bay seasoning will be used throughout the recipe. Sprinkle as much or as little as you like on each ingredient.
- This recipe makes a lot of food! Feel free to make half the amount if you don’t need to feed a crowd.
- We used frozen jumbo shrimp and thawed it completely before adding it to the pans. If you also use frozen shrimp, make sure to rinse it well and pat it dry, too. Fresh shrimp is a great option if available.
- Adjust the Old Bay (or other seafood seasoning) to your tastes. It is quite salty, so reduce the amount if desired.
- We used frozen mini corn cobs to make it really easy. Just leave them out for a few minutes prior to adding them to the pan. Fresh corn will also work!
- Swap red potatoes for the baby gold potatoes. If they’re full size, make sure to cut them into smaller pieces.
Storage and Reheating
Storage: In an airtight container in the fridge, any leftovers you have will stay fresh for about 3-4 days.
Reheating: Pop everything back into the oven until heated all the way through. Keep an eye on it so nothing burns! We do NOT recommend using the microwave to reheat your leftovers, especially the seafood.
