Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, yellow squash, zucchini, red onion, and red bell pepper. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated. Add the cocktail wieners and stir to combine. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared sheet pan. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

While the vegetables are roasting, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place them in a separate bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

After 10 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and stir the vegetables and sausages. Place the oiled and seasoned shrimp on top of the vegetable mixture, spreading them out in a single layer. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

06

Step

Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are fork-tender and the shrimp are just opaque. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

07

Step

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices, if desired. Serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the vegetables before roasting.
Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. If you like it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preference and what's in season. Bell peppers, mushrooms, or broccoli would all be great additions.
Make sure not to overcook the shrimp. They should be just opaque and slightly firm to the touch. Overcooked shrimp can become rubbery.
For easy cleanup, line your sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
