Ingredients:
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 4 ears of corn, cut into thirds
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Foil for wrapping
Instructions:
- Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Prepare the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Toss everything to coat evenly.
- Assemble the foil packets: Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil. Divide the shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn mixture evenly among the foil sheets. Fold the foil over the ingredients, crimping the edges to seal tightly into packets.
- Grill the packets: Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and the shrimp is cooked through.
