Shrimp, Corn, Potatoes, and Smoked Sausage Foil Pack

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 ears corn, each cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning (or Cajun seasoning)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Parboil the potatoes (optional but recommended): In a pot of boiling water, cook halved potatoes for about 7–10 minutes until just slightly tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the foil packs: Tear 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×18 inches each).
  4. Assemble the packets: Divide the potatoes, shrimp, corn pieces, and sliced sausage evenly among the foil sheets.
  5. Season and drizzle: Drizzle olive oil over each pack, then sprinkle with Old Bay, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss gently with your hands to coat everything evenly.
  6. Seal the packs: Fold the sides of the foil over the mixture, sealing completely to create a packet.
  7. Cook:
    • Grill: Place foil packs on the grill and cook for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
    • Oven: Place foil packs on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes.
  8. Check doneness: Carefully open one pack to ensure potatoes are fork-tender and shrimp is cooked through (pink and opaque).
  9. Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top before serving.
