Notes

Ensure potatoes are par-boiled to tender-crisp; this crucial step guarantees they cook evenly with the other ingredients, preventing a raw texture. When spreading the mixture, aim for a single, even layer on the sheet pan to promote consistent caramelization and avoid steaming. For a brighter citrus note, consider adding some lemon zest to your seasoning blend. The shrimp should be added only during the final stage of cooking to prevent it from overcooking and becoming tough. Adjust the quantity of Creole seasoning to match your preferred spice level, and don't hesitate to incorporate a touch of smoked paprika for an extra layer of depth.
