Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) baby red or Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
- 2 ears of corn, cut into thirds (or 1 cup of frozen corn kernels)
- 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 oz (340 g) smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning (or Cajun seasoning for a spicier kick)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Pre-cook the potatoes:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the quartered potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the foil packs:
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (or your oven to 400°F / 200°C). Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12×18 inches each.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, corn, shrimp, and sausage. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Assemble the packs:
- Divide the mixture evenly among the foil sheets. Fold the foil over the ingredients and seal tightly to form packets.
- Cook the foil packs:
- Grill: Place the packets on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
- Oven: Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked and the sausage is heated through.
- Serve:
- Carefully open the foil packs (be cautious of steam). Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
Notes
- Customizations: Add bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for extra veggies.
- Spicy kick: Add a pinch of cayenne or a splash of hot sauce to the seasoning.
- Make-ahead tip: Assemble the foil packs in advance and refrigerate until ready to cook.
