The name of the game is easy! Don't you love the idea of putting everything in a foil packet, grilling or baking it for 15 minutes and out comes a masterpiece?! And think of the cast of characters, same as a low country boil, succulent shrimp, sweet corn, andouille sausage, and baby potatoes, all in a light, butter, lemon, garlic and Old Bay Sauce! So easy to do also, I have found that it's better to par boil the potatoes and corn, otherwise, the shrimp overcooks.
Ingredients
  • 2 ears of corn, cut crosswise into 4 pieces
  • 1 lb of small red potatoes, cut in half
  • 1 lb of large shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 8 oz of andouille sausages, cut into thick slices
  • 3 Tbs of melted butter
  • 2 Tbs of olive oil
  • 1 Tbs of Old Bay seasoning
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, divided use
  • ½ tsp of kosher salt
  • ½ cup of fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the corn and potatoes and boil for 10 - 12 minutes. Drain, and let cool for a few minutes. Then, in a large bowl, add the corn, potatoes, shrimp, sausage, melted butter, olive oil, Old Bay, garlic, juice from ½ lemon, salt, and parsley, toss until well coated.
  2. Cut 4 pieces of 12 X 14 heavy duty foil. Divide the shrimp mixture evenly onto the foil, bring the long ends together and double fold, then roll and crimp the ends to make a packet. Prepare the grill, place the packets on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 5 minutes. You can also bake the packets for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Let them rest for a few minutes, open the packets, cut the remaining half of lemon into wedges and serve with the packets. Enjoy!
