Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced
Vegetables
- 1 ear of corn, cut into kernels
- 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
Seasonings and Oils
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare vegetables: Peel and cube the potatoes, cut the corn off the cob, and slice the red bell pepper into strips, ensuring all vegetables are ready for cooking.
- Toss vegetables with seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, cubed potatoes, sliced red bell pepper, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all vegetables evenly with the seasoning and oil.
- Combine shrimp and sausage: In a separate bowl, mix the peeled and deveined shrimp with the sliced andouille sausage to evenly distribute the proteins.
- Assemble foil packs: Lay out two large sheets of aluminum foil. Evenly divide the seasoned vegetable mixture among the two sheets, then top each with the shrimp and sausage mixture, spreading them out to allow for even cooking.
- Seal and cook: Fold the foil over the ingredients to create sealed foil packets. Place the foil packs on a grill or in a preheated oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the shrimp turn opaque and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Carefully open the foil packs, transfer the contents to plates or serve directly from the foil. Enjoy immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add minced garlic or a squeeze of lemon juice before sealing the foil packs.
- Potatoes can be parboiled for 5 minutes to reduce grill or baking time if desired.
- These foil packs can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until ready to cook.
- Use gluten-free andouille sausage to keep the dish gluten free if needed.
- Leftover foil packs can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick meal the next day.
