Simply toss shrimp, sliced sausage and colorful veggies in a blend of olive oil and Cajun seasoning, then roast them to perfection in the oven.

On most busy weeknights, the last thing you feel like doing is cooking an elaborate dinner, let alone washing a sink’s worth of dishes once you’re done eating. Luckily, the Cajun shrimp and sausage vegetable sheet pan from Alyssa Rivers’s new cookbook, The Tried & True Cookbook, comes together in under 30 minutes *and* it’ll only leave you with one bowl and one pan to clean.

It truly doesn’t get easier than this eight-ingredient gem. “Simply toss shrimp, sliced sausage and colorful veggies in a blend of olive oil and Cajun seasoning, then roast them to perfection in the oven,” Rivers explains.

The recipe calls for using asparagus, zucchini and bell peppers, but you can easily substitute whatever you have on hand. (Carrots, tomatoes and even kale are fair game.) It’s also low-carb and keto-friendly as is, but feel free to make the meal heartier by pairing it with rice, pasta or potatoes.
