Description
Shrimp Boil Foil Packets have all the great flavors of a traditional shrimp boil, but made in foil for an easy, no-fuss dinner at home or while camping, with little clean-up. Cook it on the grill or in the oven.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails off
- 14 ounce package beef smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch thick coins
- 2 ears corn, shucked, silk removed, each cut crosswise into 4 pieces
- 1 pound baby red potatoes, halved or quartered (no bigger than 1-inch)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Instructions
- Preheat: If using the oven, preheat to 425 degrees F; if grilling, prepare grill to medium-high (450 degrees F).
- Prepare Foil: Cut 5 large sheets of heavy duty foil (about 12-inches wide by 18-inches long) and coat generously with nonstick cooking spray.
- Mix: In a large bowl, toss together all the ingredients except the butter.
- Portion: Divide mixture evenly into 5 equal portions and add to the center of each sheet of foil. Place 1 tablespoon butter on top of each.
- Seal: Bring the short sides together in the middle and gently fold down over the ingredients, leaving a little space for steam, then roll up the ends to seal closed.
- Cook: Place foil packets on the grill and cook for 25-30 minutes (flipping halfway through), or bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until veggies are tender.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Ensure baby potatoes are cut to 1-inch or smaller to ensure they cook through. Use heavy-duty foil to prevent tearing during grilling.
