Ingredients

  • 3 corn on the cob (cut into four pieces)
  • 1 pound baby red potatoes
  • 1 1/2 pound jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 (14 ounce package) smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
  • salt and pepper
  • parsley (chopped for garnish)

Method

  1. Boil the corn pieces and baby red potatoes together for 10 minutes, drain them well and tip them into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the jumbo shrimp, sliced smoked sausage, melted butter, olive oil and Old Bay seasoning to the bowl and toss until every piece is coated, seasoning with salt and pepper as the mixture turns.
  3. Lay out four large sheets of foil and divide the shrimp mixture evenly among their centres.
  4. Fold the foil up and over each portion, crimping the edges tightly so each packet is sealed with room for steam inside.
  5. Grill the packets over a grill heated to 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes, turning them once halfway, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
  6. Open the shrimp foil packets carefully, shower the contents with chopped parsley and serve them in their foil.
