Drain the potatoes and corn, then cut the corn into thirds.

Pour the seasoning mixture over the vegetables and sausage, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
Spread the seasoned mixture out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Distribute the lemon wedges around the edges of the sheet.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes.
Prepare the Shrimp:
While the vegetables and sausage are baking, toss the raw shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of paprika, and ½ teaspoon of Creole seasoning. Let it marinate briefly.
Add Shrimp and Continue Baking:
