- 2 ears corn on the cob, cleaned and each ear cut into 5 to 6 rounds
- 1 pound raw shrimp, thawed, peeled, and deveined
- 12 ounces beef Andouille smoked sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons old bay seasoning

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the grill to 400˚F. Tear out 4 large (measuring 12×12) heavy duty foil sheets. Set aside.
- Step 2: Add 8 cups of water to a large pot and set over high heat; bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and corn to the boiling water; reduce the heat to a steady simmer and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Drain.

- Step 4: Divide the shrimp mixture ingredients between the four aluminum foil sheets. Wrap the foils tightly around the ingredients and seal it all together.
- Step 5: Place the packets directly on the grill and cook for 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking. Remove from the grill.
- Step 6: Carefully open up the packets, garnish the shrimp boil with lemon and parsley; serve and enjoy!
Notes
Use heavy duty foil to prevent rips. Ensure packets are not overstuffed to allow for a tight seal. Flip packets halfway through grilling to ensure even cooking. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as they cook quickly.
