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.
