I don’t know about you but I love a one pan meal. I rarely make a sheet pan dinner but I’m intrigued with them. That’s when I thought this low carb Cajun shrimp & chicken sheet pan dinner would work perfectly. There’s shrimp, chicken and sausage mixed with lots of colorful vegetable and Cajun spices.  Pop them in the oven and dinner is ready!

Other Cajun Flavored Recipes To Try

I really like the spicy Cajun flavors, especially when mixed with vegetables. So I have a lot of low carb cajun recipes on my site. This recipe is very similar to my Cajun stir fry but it’s a even easier. If you like Cajun recipes too, you might like these:

The Cajun Spice Blend

The other day I looked at the bottle of Cajun spices I had and saw that it was full of carbs! So I made my own blend and here’s the recipe. Note that I only used the  half of the blend for this recipe. Mix and keep in a jar for soup, meat or vegetables.

 

Low Carb Cajun Spice Blend

1 tablespoons salt

2 teaspoons paprika

2 teaspoons garlic powder

½ teaspoon thyme

½ teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon pepper

½ teaspoon onion powder

Cajun Shrimp & Chicken Sheet Pan Recipe

  1. Chop all of your vegetables and chicken and peel the shrimp.
  2. Add them all to a very large bowl and pour the oil over top.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the spices and the sprinkle over the meat and vegetables.
  4. Use your hands to make sure the oil and spices gets on everything.
  5. Spread out on a sheet pan and bake for 40 minutes.

What To Serve With This Cajun Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner?

My hubby at this with rice and I ate it as is. You could also use cauliflower rice if you wish but I personally don’t think it needs it. With the 3 different protein and all the vegetables, it made a full meal for me.

Notes About This Recipe

First I wanted to say that I bought all of these ingredients at Aldi. I especially like their frozen raw Jumbo shrimp. They come out so succulent when cooked. I also used their chicken sausages which only have 1g net carbs per sausage. Lastly I used chicken breast but you can use chicken thighs too if you want.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. I just loved this combination. The nutritional information for 1 serving (considering I used half of the spices) is:

428 cals / 21.8g fat / 9.6g carbs / 2.7g fiber / 48.9g protein = 6.9g net carbs

    When do you add the shrimp? I do not see it in the directions, unless I am missing something.

      Hi Kayla, thank your for spotting that. You just add them when you toss the chicken and vegetables with the oil and spices. I’ve fixed the recipe card. I hope you like it!

    Seems a long time to cook shrimp. Do they get overcooked?

      Hi RJ, you can certainly add the shrimp towards the end of the recipe. I’d at least put it in 15 minutes before the dish is over. Good luck!

    When you mention using only half of the blend do you mean you make the entire spice blend and then just use half of it and leave the rest for another time?

      Hi Halley,
      Yes you are only using 1/2 of the blend. I updated the recipe to say that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. You could just make a half batch if you want or use the extra blend for as a rub for burgers, chicken, pork, etc. Hope you like this!
