Ingredients

Seafood and Meat

  • 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced

Vegetables

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved and parboiled
  • 2 ears corn, cut into 4 pieces

Seasoning and Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Cooking Surface: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for cooking the foil packets efficiently.
  2. Prepare Foil Packets: Divide the shrimp, sliced smoked sausage, parboiled baby potatoes, and corn pieces evenly among four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and lemon juice, mixing well to create a flavorful butter sauce.
  4. Add Seasoning to Packets: Drizzle the prepared butter mixture evenly over each foil packet containing the shrimp and vegetables to ensure all ingredients are coated with seasoning.
  5. Seal Packets: Fold the foil over the ingredients and seal each packet tightly to trap the steam and flavors inside during cooking.
  6. Cook the Packets: Place the packets on the preheated grill or in the oven, cooking for 18 to 20 minutes until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through, and the potatoes are tender.
  7. Serve: Carefully open each foil packet, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

  • Add crab legs or clams to the packets for a more luxurious and varied seafood feast.
  • Use heavy-duty foil to avoid leaks and ensure the packets hold their shape during cooking.
  • Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious buttery Old Bay sauce inside the packets.
