Flavor: Savory, buttery, smoky, lightly spiced
Time: ~35–40 minutes
Serves: 4
🛒 Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined
12 oz smoked sausage (Andouille or kielbasa), sliced
1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
3 ears corn, cut into thirds (or 2 cups frozen corn)
3 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder

1 lemon, sliced
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
🔥 Instructions
- Preheat
Grill: Medium-high heat (about 400°F)
Oven: 400°F
- Prep the Potatoes (Important!)
Potatoes take longer than shrimp.
Boil or microwave potatoes 5–7 minutes until just barely tender.
Drain and let steam dry.

👉 This prevents undercooked potatoes later.
- Assemble the Foil Packs
Tear 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil.
Divide potatoes, corn, sausage, and shrimp evenly among foil sheets.
In a small bowl, mix butter, olive oil, garlic, Old Bay, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Drizzle seasoning mixture over each pack.
Toss gently to coat.
Top with lemon slices.
- Seal & Cook
Fold foil tightly, sealing edges well.
Grill: 12–15 minutes, flipping once
Oven: 20–25 minutes
Shrimp should be pink and cooked through.
- Finish & Serve
Carefully open foil (hot steam!).
Sprinkle with parsley and add extra butter or lemon if desired.
Serve straight from foil or transfer to a platter.
❓ Q & A

Q: What sausage works best?
A:
Andouille = smoky & spicy
Kielbasa = mild & savory
Smoked turkey sausage works too
Q: Can I make this spicy?
A: Add:
Cayenne pepper
Red pepper flakes
Cajun seasoning instead of Old Bay

Q: How do I avoid soggy foil packs?
A:

Use high heat
