Shrimp Corn Potatoes Smoked Sausage Foil Packets with Seasoned Butter (Print version)

Juicy shrimp, smoky sausage, sweet corn, and tender potatoes steam in foil with garlic seasoned butter.

# Ingredients:

For the packets

01 - 1 1/2 lb (680 g) baby gold or red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
02 - 3 ears fresh corn, each cut into 4 rounds
03 - 1 lb (450 g) large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
04 - 12 oz (340 g) smoked andouille sausage or kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch coins
05 - 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
06 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
07 - 1 lemon, half sliced and half cut into wedges
08 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

For the seasoned butter

09 - 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
10 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
11 - 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
12 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
13 - 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning or cayenne, optional
14 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
15 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat a grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F. Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty foil, about 12x16 inches each.
02 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and corn and simmer for 10 minutes, until the potatoes are just starting to turn tender. Drain very well.
03 - Stir melted butter with garlic, Old Bay, smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning if using, salt, and pepper.
04 - In a large bowl, combine the drained potatoes and corn with shrimp, sausage, onion, and olive oil. Pour in the seasoned butter and toss until everything is evenly coated.
05 - Divide the mixture among the foil sheets and add a lemon slice to each. Fold the long sides together, crimp tightly, then fold the ends to seal while leaving a little space for steam.
06 - Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning once, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. For the oven, bake packets on a sheet pan at 425°F for 15-18 minutes.
07 - Open carefully to avoid steam. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges, spooning the seasoned butter over the shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes.

# Good to know:

01 - Use heavy-duty foil, or double regular foil, to prevent leaks.
02 - Best served hot right from the packet.
03 - Oven method: bake sealed packets at 425°F for 15-18 minutes.
