Either way, this Sheet-Pan Shrimp and Sausage Jambalaya is one of those meals that will have you scrapping your plate clean and going back for seconds.

To make this comforting dish, start by seasoning the andouille sausage and sliced onions and baking in the hot oven until the sausage begins to blister. Next, add the seasoned shrimp and bake until the shrimp turn pink. Finally, add the rice tossed with salsa and bake for another 6 minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions and enjoy hot!
