Skip the giant pot of boiling water and enjoy this classic seafood meal in a single pan straight from the oven. Roasting allows the vegetables to caramelize, bringing out their natural sweetness and adding another level of flavor not found in a traditional shrimp boil. Making your own spice blend gives you control of the flavors you love without the high levels of sodium found in many prepared mixes.
Experiment by adding extra vegetables to the pan. Zucchini and summer squash would be excellent additions.
