Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil

Growing up, I spent a fair number of summers at my grandmother's home in Maine, with my family.  There were tales of big lobster bakes on the beach, which I didn't experience, but always had lobster at least once during our stay there.

Tomorrow would have been my father's 88th birthday and the Brave Astronaut Clan is in New York to settle some lingering affairs of my father's estate.  There is sure to be card playing, shouting, drinking, and good food.  Maybe we should have lobster.  If not, maybe a Shrimp Boil.
