Instructions
- Vorbereitung
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C), or preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Kombinieren
- In a large bowl, combine shrimp, sausage, onion, corn, potatoes, and garlic.
- Würzen
- Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with Old Bay or Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Päckchen Packen
- Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12x16 inches each). Divide the mixture evenly among the foil sheets, placing in the center of each. Top each with lemon slices.
- Versiegeln
- Fold the long sides of the foil over the mixture, then roll up the ends tightly to seal and create packets.
- Garen
- Arrange packets on a baking sheet (for oven) or directly on the grill. Bake or grill for 20–25 minutes, until potatoes are tender and shrimp are cooked through.
- Anrichten
- Carefully open packets (watch for steam), garnish with fresh parsley and serve with extra lemon wedges if desired.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Ensure you use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent any leakage or tearing. To make sure the baby potatoes are perfectly tender at the same time as the shrimp, cut any larger potatoes into smaller quarters. Using a large mixing bowl and tongs helps to distribute the olive oil and Cajun seasoning evenly across all ingredients.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For those who prefer a lighter protein, substitute the smoked sausage with chicken sausage. You can also add sliced bell peppers for extra color and nutrition. If you enjoy a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce before sealing the packets.
Serviervorschläge
Serve these packets hot with a side of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful, seasoned juices. Extra lemon wedges on the side allow guests to adjust the brightness of the dish to their liking.
Merken Enjoy this effortless, flavor-packed Southern feast that brings the joy of a shrimp boil to any mealtime with ease and style.
