Description

This Shrimp and Sausage Foil Packs recipe showcases a flavorful, easy-to-make meal that combines tender shrimp, smoky sausage, potatoes, and corn. Cooked in foil packets either in the oven or on the grill, this dish is perfect for a fuss-free dinner or outdoor barbecue, delivering hearty, Cajun-seasoned goodness with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 small red potatoes, quartered
  • 2 ears corn, cut into thirds
  • 1/2 lb smoked sausage, sliced

Seasonings and Extras

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Cooking Surface: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat your grill to medium-high to ensure it’s ready for cooking the foil packs evenly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the peeled and deveined shrimp, quartered potatoes, corn pieces, and sliced smoked sausage, ensuring all components are evenly distributed.
  3. Season and Toss: Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, then add Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat each ingredient with the seasonings.
  4. Prepare Foil Packets: Divide the seasoned mixture evenly among large sheets of aluminum foil. Fold and seal the foil tightly to create individual packets that will steam and cook the ingredients while locking in flavors.
  5. Cook the Packets: Place the foil packets in the preheated oven or on the grill. Cook in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or on the grill for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  6. Serve: Carefully open the foil packets (watching for hot steam), garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side to add a fresh, tangy finish.

Notes

  • Ensure shrimp are thawed and deveined before cooking to achieve the best texture and flavor.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to suit your spice preference.
  • For a flavor variation, substitute Cajun seasoning with Old Bay seasoning.
  • Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent packet tears and leakage during cooking.
  • Be cautious when opening the foil packets as hot steam will escape.
