Description

This easy foil packet meal combines juicy shrimp, sweet corn, tender potatoes, and smoky sausage, all grilled to perfection with a flavorful herb butter. Perfect for a quick and delicious outdoor dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 ears corn, husked and cut into thirds
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 12 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • 4 large sheets heavy-duty aluminum foil
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F).
  2. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place each sheet of foil on a flat surface and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  4. Divide potatoes evenly among the four foil sheets, placing them in the center. Top with corn pieces and sausage slices.
  5. Drizzle half of the seasoned butter mixture over the vegetables and sausage.
  6. Fold foil packets tightly by bringing opposite sides together and folding to seal, then folding in the ends.
  7. Place packets on the preheated grill and cook for 15 minutes.
  8. Carefully open one packet (watch for steam) and check if potatoes are tender; if not, reseal and cook 2-3 more minutes.
  9. Once potatoes are tender, open all packets and arrange shrimp evenly over the top of the vegetables and sausage.
  10. Drizzle remaining butter mixture over the shrimp. Close packets loosely (fold without crimping tightly).
  11. Grill for an additional 5-7 minutes, until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  12. Remove from grill, open packets carefully, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture. You can also substitute with chicken, kielbasa, or any firm fish. If using wooden skewers for the shrimp, soak them in water for 30 minutes first.
