Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Prepare the veggies: In a large bowl, mix together the yellow squash, green beans, bell pepper, onions, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything until evenly coated.
First oven roast: Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on an 18 x 13-inch sheet pan. Add the sausage slices, scattering them among the vegetables. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
Prepare the shrimp: While the vegetables are roasting, toss the shrimp in the remaining olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Second oven roast: Take the sheet pan out of the oven and add the shrimp. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked.
Serve: Remove from the oven and squeeze lemon juice over everything. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. 

Substitutions and Variations

Shrimp substitutions: I use fresh, peeled, tail-on shrimp, but you can use any type of shrimp that you like. Cooking times may vary. Frozen shrimp can be used, but run them under cold water to thaw before cooking.
Sausage swaps: Any type of sausage can work with this recipe. Chicken sausage, pork, and smoked sausage varieties.
Vegetables: Swap yellow squash with zucchini, green beans with asparagus or snap peas, and use other color bell peppers- green bell peppers are so good in this one-pan shrimp and sausage dish.
Proteins alternatives: Try chorizo or kielbasa in this sausage sheet pan recipe instead of Andouille sausage.
Shrimp: Don’t love shrimp? Chicken breast pieces or firm tofu can be used as a non-seafood option.
Seasonings: Instead of Cajun seasoning Use Old Bay seasoning, Creole seasoning, or a homemade spice mix. Add cayenne pepper for extra heat in your shrimp and sausage sheet pan recipe.
Herbs: For extra flavor, add other herbs, like thyme, rosemary, or oregano, to the vegetable mix before roasting, together with or instead of fresh parsley.
Citrus add-ins: Replace lemon juice with lime juice or a mix.
Cheesy touch: Sprinkle grated Parmesan or crumbled feta over the dish just before serving for a cheesy twist.

Serving Suggestions

Appetizer: Start your festive meal with a plate of chicken nachos, air fryer egg rolls, or these crab cakes.
Main: Serve your delicious sheet-pan Cajun shrimp and sausage pan recipe with steamed white rice, cauliflower rice, red beans, or a dirty rice! It’s also really good with a side of grilled pineapple or fresh fruit salad. Mashed potatoes, creamed corn or cornbread are all spot-on side options, too.
Dessert: End off with this caramel, sticky monkey bread that is finger-licking heavenly. After something chocolatey? Then try pancake spaghetti!
