Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound Baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 ears Corn, cut into thirds
  • 1/2 pound Smoked sausage, sliced

Seasonings and Additions

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning (or Cajun seasoning)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for cooking the foil packs.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp, halved baby potatoes, corn cut into thirds, and sliced smoked sausage for the base of the meal.
  3. Season: Drizzle olive oil over the mix and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat all ingredients with bold flavors.
  4. Toss Well: Toss the mixture thoroughly ensuring all pieces are well coated with the seasonings and oil for uniform taste.
  5. Prepare Foil: Cut 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, enough to fold over and seal each packet securely.
  6. Distribute Mixture: Evenly divide the shrimp mixture among the foil sheets, placing each portion in the center.
  7. Add Butter: Dot each serving with small pieces of unsalted butter to add richness and moisture during cooking.
  8. Seal Packets: Fold the foil over the mixture and seal tightly on all edges to create leak-proof packets.
  9. Cook: Place the foil packets directly on the grill grates or oven rack and cook for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender and shrimp turn pink and cooked through.
  10. Serve: Carefully open each hot foil pack, being mindful of steam, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a fresh, zesty finish.

Notes

  • Old Bay seasoning can be substituted with Cajun seasoning for a spicier flavor.
  • If baby potatoes are unavailable, use fingerling potatoes or halved small red potatoes.
  • Make sure the foil packets are sealed tightly to avoid any juices leaking during cooking.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of the shrimp and potatoes.
  • This recipe works well on a grill or in a conventional oven, making it versatile for indoor or outdoor cooking.
  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
  • Use fresh lemon wedges to enhance flavor right before eating.
