Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined

- 1/2 pound andouille sausage, sliced
- 1 pound baby red or yellow potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning (or homemade seasoning)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus wedges for serving
- 3 tablespoons melted butter + 1/2 cup for browning
- Chopped fresh parsley, for topping
Preparation
- Prep the veggies: Boil corn and potatoes for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Mix the ingredients: In a bowl, combine shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes. Stir together melted butter, Old Bay seasoning, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour over the mixture and toss to coat.
- Create foil packs: Divide the mixture into four 12×12 inch foil sheets. Fold the edges to create sealed packets.
- Cook: Grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes on one side, flip, and cook for 5-6 minutes more. Alternatively, bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until shrimp are pink and corn is tender.
- Brown the butter: Melt 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently for 3-4 minutes until golden amber. Be careful not to burn.
- Serve: Top with parsley, lemon wedges, and drizzle with browned butter.
