- 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 4 small red potatoes, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 2 ears corn, cut into 2-inch rounds (or 1½ cups frozen corn)
- 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced into ½-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a hot grill. Cut foil sheets (~12–14 inches long) for individual packs. - Prepare Potatoes
Toss diced potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Microwave 3–4 minutes or parboil 5 minutes to slightly soften. - Assemble Foil Packs
- Place potatoes, corn, and sausage in the center of each foil sheet.
- Drizzle with remaining olive oil, sprinkle garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
- Top with shrimp.
- Seal & Cook
Fold foil over ingredients and seal edges tightly.- Oven: Bake 20–25 minutes
- Grill: Cook over medium heat 15–20 minutes
- Check that shrimp are pink and potatoes are tender.
- Serve
Open packs carefully, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
Tips
- 🦐 Shrimp cooks quickly — don’t overcook. Add shrimp in the last 10 minutes if your potatoes take longer.
- 🌽 Use frozen corn for convenience.
- 🔥 Foil packs can be cooked directly on charcoal, grill grates, or in the oven.
Variations
- 🥔 Swap red potatoes for sweet potatoes or baby Yukon golds
- 🌶️ Add sliced bell peppers or jalapeños for extra flavor
- 🥩 Use andouille sausage or kielbasa for a spicier kick
- 🧈 For extra richness, dot each pack with butter before sealing
I can also give a one-pan sheet tray version if you want to skip individual foil packs and make cleanup even easier.
Do you want me to do that?
