Ingredients

1 lb fresh shrimp
3 ears corn
1 lb potato balls
1/3 cup butter
4 shallots
2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
6 garlic cloves
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
So, grab 3 corn in the cob and cut them into 2-inch sized pieces. Then in a large pot with salted water boil corn for about 10 minutes.
Heat a big skillet on medium heat. Then add ⅓ cup of butter. When you see the butter melted add the crushed garlic. It is up to your taste how much to add. Let it sauté for about 2 minutes. Then pour the melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix in 1 tsp of smoked paprika, 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning, 1 tsp of salt, 1tbsp fresh lemon juice, and some chill flakes if desired.
Peel and devein the shrimp. Grab a baking tray and grease it with some olive oil. Transfer all ingredients to the tray: potatoes ball (there is no need to thaw them), precooked corn, shrimps, and some shallot wedges. Pour the butter mixture on the top and gently toss to combine.
Bake just for about 12-15 minutes, as shrimp cooks so quickly.
