Sheet pan sausage green beans and shrimp combines the ease of a one-pan recipe with the bold flavor of smoky kielbasa, plump, tender shrimp, and perfectly cooked green beans cooked with a bold blend of seasonings. It’s as easy as it is delicious, and it’s so convenient. You can’t beat that!
I’ve been a huge fan of sheet pan meals ever since I discovered them several years ago. They’re so convenient and easy, and cleanup is just a simple. And the best part is that there are so many ingredients you can use. I love making sheet pan chicken and potatoes, chicken fajitas, sausage and potatoes with corn, and more. Now, I’ve added a new recipe to my rotation. My sheet pan sausage green beans and shrimp recipe combines classic ingredients with bold spices and cooks them all in one pan. I love making this for myself and my boyfriend, or making a double batch when the kids come to visit.

Storage
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze leftovers for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container.
To reheat the dish, defrost it overnight in the refrigerator if frozen. Then, microwave individual portions at 1-minute intervals until heated through.
Pairing Suggestions
This sheet pan sausage green beans and shrimp is a full meal on its own, so I recommend serving it with a simple side like garlic bread.
For dessert, try a fruity treat to balance the smoky, savory flavors in this dish. Things like mini lemon loaves, peach blueberry crisp, or lemon blueberry cake are always great options.
Tips
- Slice the sausages no more than ¼-inch thick. This ensures they heat through and brown fully by the time the shrimp is cooked.
- If you use fresh shrimp, look for shiny, bright, firm shrimp with a fresh, briny smell.
- Defrost frozen shrimp overnight in the refrigerator for the best flavor and food safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, it is. Kielbasa and other such smoked meats are cured with smoke and heat, which cooks them as it preserves them.
Fresh shrimp should be a bright gray color with a shiny look. They should be firm, never soft, and they should have a briny smell. In addition, if the shrimp have heads, the eyes should be bright and not sunken. If shrimp is soft, dull, or smells fishy, it’s not good.
You can defrost shrimp in cold water to move things along a little. However, you should never defrost them at room temperature or in hot water, as it promotes bacterial growth.
