# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The way the Old Bay and smoked paprika caramelize on the corn creates this incredible sweet and smoky flavor that reminds me of beach boardwalk summers
  • Everything cooks in stages on one pan, so you can pour a glass of wine and let the oven do all the heavy lifting
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd your pan or everything will steam instead of roast, which means you lose all those delicious caramelized edges
  • The shrimp cook incredibly fast, so set a timer for that final 7 minutes because overcooked shrimp turn rubbery and sad
03 -
  • If you want extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne to the shrimp seasoning or drizzle hot sauce over everything right before serving
  • Check your sausage label if you need this to be gluten free, because not all smoked sausages are created equal
