This Low Country Bake has all of the classic flavors of a Low Country Boil but it’s baked in the oven and done in about 30 minutes!
Have you ever had Low Country Boil?
It’s a glorious spread of shrimp, corn, potatoes and sausage coins that’s been boiled in seasonings and Old Bay! After you make it, you just drain it and dump everything out onto a plate or newspaper and dig in!
It’s so good but takes a little time to get everything together and cooked up. So the other night I was thinking about making Low Country Boil for dinner but I really wanted something that I could just pop into the oven since I had a little guy to tend to and didn’t want to be chained to the stove and a boiling pot of food.
That’s when I decided to make a baked version! I’m not going to lie y’all, I actually think that I might love this Low Country Bake more than the Low Country boiled version! The flavors are fantastic and it’s easy to mix together and pop into the oven to bake.
What you need to make Low Country Bake:
- frozen diced potatoes
- jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined with tails left on (tails optional)
- corn, shucked, cleaned and cut into 3 inch pieces
- andouille sausage
- butter
- garlic powder
- Old Bay
How to cook a Low Country Boil in the oven:
I love sheet pan meals so this was kind of my take on turning the Low Country Boil into the sheet pan version.
I’ve baked this in a casserole dish and on a rimmed baking sheet and both ways work perfectly. Just make sure that if you use a baking sheet that you have one with edges because you don’t want the butter to melt and run off the sheet and into the bottom of your oven while it’s baking.
This Low Country Bake is going to cook in the oven at 425F for about 35 minutes.
Now when you make this, you can serve it up on plates or dump it out onto newspaper just like you would a normal Low Country Boil but I normally opt for plates haha.
Also, forks are optional when it comes to Low Country Bakes, fingers and napkins are what we go for when chowing down on this meal for dinner.

How many does this feed? Looks awesome.
Angie says
about 4 people, maybe 5 – depends on how hungry everyone is 🙂
Chey says
I am definitely trying this one. Although, I may still dump it out on the table – because I like that. 🙂
Patricia Pinkney says
Looks delicious . Can’t wait to try. But is 18 min enough time for corn on cob to cook& wondering if the small frozen ears can be used
Angie says
After you add the shrimp the corn continues to bake in the oven with the shrimp so in total the corn bakes doe about 25 minutes and yes it’s enough time. (if it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have written it like that haha) – I bet the small frozen ears would work, but I haven’t tried them out so I’m not sure if cooking time needs to be adjusted for that.

Such a amazing post.

Elaine Laskowski says
Made this but also added chunks of chicken and some salmon fillets. Also used Italian hot sausage. It was delicious.
Angie says
oo Great idea!
Brenda says
Trying this tonight. Love the traditional low country boil for a large crowd, this dish is ideal for 5-6 people.
Patrick says
Nowhere near long enough for the potatoes to cook fully. I had to add another twenty five minutes to get the potatoes to cook. Which made the shrimp inedible. I thought the cooking time seemed off. Should have went with my gut.
Angie says
Hi Patrick, I’m going to assume that you didn’t read the recipe or follow the directions. Because this recipe calls for “1 pound frozen diced potatoes” – frozen diced potatoes are already cooked, therefore they’re just being heated in the oven with the rest of the food. If you didn’t follow the directions and recipe as written and used uncooked potatoes, then yes, the time would be off. However, if you follow the recipe and use the correct ingredients, the time is perfect.

Do you need to cover with aluminum foil?
Angie says
Nope 🙂
