Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 large onion, cut into wedges
- 2 ears corn, each cut into 4 pieces
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay or Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Additional lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F or preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine shrimp, sausage, onion, corn, potatoes, and garlic.
- Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with Old Bay or Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, approximately 12 by 16 inches each.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the foil sheets, placing in the center of each. Top each with lemon slices.
- Fold the long sides of the foil over the mixture, then roll up the ends tightly to seal and create packets.
- Arrange packets on a baking sheet for the oven or directly on the grill. Bake or grill for 20 to 25 minutes, until potatoes are tender and shrimp are cooked through.
- Carefully open packets, watching for steam. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with extra lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- Make sure to not overcook the shrimp to maintain tenderness.
- You can customize the vegetables based on seasonal availability.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding cayenne pepper or sliced jalapeños.
