Shrimp, Corn, Potatoes & Smoked Sausage Foil Pack

Serves 4 | Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 25–30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined (tail-on optional)

• 12 oz smoked sausage (Andouille or kielbasa), sliced into coins

• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved (or diced Yukon golds)

• 2 ears corn, cut into 4 pieces each

• 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

• 1/2 red onion, sliced

• 4 tbsp butter, melted

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tsp Cajun seasoning (or Old Bay)

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1/2 tsp dried thyme

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)

• Lemon wedges, for serving

Equipment

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil or parchment paper

Instructions

1. Prep the Foil Packs

   • Tear off 4 large sheets of foil (about 12×18 inches each).

   • Divide potatoes, corn, bell pepper, onion, and sausage evenly among the foil sheets.

2. Season & Drizzle

   • In a bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

   • Drizzle 3/4 of the sauce over the veggies/sausage and toss lightly.

3. Seal the Packs

   • Fold foil over the mixture and crimp edges tightly to seal (leave room for steam).

4. Cook

   • Grill method: Place packs on a medium-high grill (400°F/200°C) for 20 mins.

   • Oven method: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25 mins.

   • Carefully open packs, add shrimp, and drizzle with remaining sauce + lemon juice. Reseal and cook 5–7 more mins until shrimp are pink.

5. Serve

   • Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges (and crusty bread to soak up juices!).

Tips for Success

✅ Par-cook potatoes (microwave 3–4 mins) if using larger chunks.
🔥 Charred flavor? Open packs at the end and grill 2 mins uncovered.
🌶️ Extra heat? Add a dash of hot sauce or extra Cajun seasoning.

Why This Works

• No dishes! Everything cooks and serves in the foil.

• Customizable: Swap sausage for chicken, or add zucchini/cherry tomatoes.

• Perfect for outdoors: Great for camping, tailgates, or backyard BBQs.

Pair with:

• Cold beer or iced tea.

• A simple green salad or garlic bread.

Dig in—this is a one-pack wonder! 🍤🌽🔥
