Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined: Adds a tender, juicy seafood touch.
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved: Creamy and soft when cooked.
- 2 ears corn, cut into 2-inch pieces: Sweet and crisp.
- 1/2 lb smoked beef sausage, sliced: Smoky and savory.
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted: Adds richness and moisture.
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning: A classic for seafood and sausage dishes.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder: For an aromatic punch.
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika: Adds warmth and depth.
- Salt and pepper, to taste: Enhances all the flavors.
- 1 lemon, sliced: For a bright, tangy finish.
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional): A garnish for added color and flavor.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or heat your grill to medium-high.
- Cut 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long each.
Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the shrimp, potatoes, corn, and smoked beef sausage with melted butter, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Assemble the Foil Packs
- Divide the mixture evenly among the foil sheets.
- Add a lemon slice to each pack for extra flavor.
- Fold the edges of the foil together to seal each pack tightly, ensuring no steam escapes during cooking.
Step 4: Cook the Foil Packs
- Place the foil packs on a baking sheet if using the oven, or directly on the grill grates.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping the packs halfway through if grilling. The shrimp should be pink, the potatoes tender, and the sausage sizzling.
Step 5: Serve
- Carefully open each foil pack (watch out for steam!) and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm with extra lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh shrimp and corn elevate the flavors.
- Cut Evenly: Ensure potatoes and sausage are cut into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Double-Layer the Foil: For added security, especially if cooking on the grill.
- Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a kick.
