Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Foil Packs: Start by tearing off large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Make sure you have enough room to create packets that can hold all those lovely ingredients.
Chop Up Your Ingredients: Dice smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces while cutting baby potatoes into halves or quarters for even cooking. Strip corn off its cob using a sharp knife—careful not to lose any kernels!
Toss Everything Together: In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp, sausage pieces, corn kernels, potato chunks, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well coated.
Create Your Foil Packets: Place generous portions of your mixture onto each piece of foil. Fold over the edges tightly to seal in all those mouthwatering juices—it’s like wrapping tiny presents!
Cooking Time!: Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the foil packs directly on the grill grates or on a baking sheet if using the oven. Cook for about 20-25 minutes until shrimp turns pink and potatoes are fork-tender.
Unwrap & Enjoy!: Carefully open each pack (watch out for steam!) and serve warm. Dive into this feast of flavors; trust me—you’ll want seconds!
