Ingredients
| Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined) | 1 lb |
| Smoked sausage (sliced into coins) | 12 oz |
| Baby red or yellow potatoes (halved or quartered) | 1 lb |
| Fresh corn (cut into 3-4 pieces per ear) | 2 ears |
| Olive oil or melted butter | 4 tbsp |
| Garlic powder | 1 tsp |
| Paprika (smoked or sweet) | 1 tsp |
| Old Bay seasoning | 1 tsp |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
| Fresh parsley or lemon wedges | For garnish |
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high or your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Microwave for 5–6 minutes to soften slightly.
- Add shrimp, sliced sausage, and corn pieces to the bowl with the remaining oil, garlic powder, paprika, and Old Bay. Mix well.
- Divide the mixture evenly among 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Fold and seal tightly to form packets.
- Grill for 15–18 minutes or bake on a sheet tray for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway if grilling.
- Carefully open packets (watch the steam!) and sprinkle with chopped parsley or squeeze a bit of lemon juice before serving.
Tips & Notes
- Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or a few dashes of hot sauce before sealing the packets.
- No fresh corn? Use frozen cobs, slightly thawed and cut into chunks.
- No foil? Layer everything in a large baking dish and cover tightly with foil before baking.
- Prep ahead: You can assemble the foil packs a few hours in advance and keep them in the fridge until ready to cook.
