2 ears of corn, cut into thirds or quarters

1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large

🥣 Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prep:
-
Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
-
Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×18 inches).
2. Parboil Potatoes (recommended):
-
Boil potatoes for 10 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and cool slightly.

Skip this step if you dice them small enough, but parboiling ensures even cooking.

In a large bowl, mix shrimp, sausage, corn pieces, and potatoes.
-
Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter.
-
Add Old Bay, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat well.
4. Assemble Foil Packs:
-
Divide mixture evenly among foil sheets.
-
Fold and seal into packets: bring long sides together and fold over, then fold in the short ends to create a tight seal.
5. Cook:
-
Grill: Place packets on the grill; cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway.
-
Oven: Bake packets on a baking sheet for 25–30 minutes.
6. Serve:
-
Carefully open packets (watch for steam).
-
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over each and garnish with parsley.
✅ Tips:
-
Add butter pats on top before sealing for extra richness.
-
Use precooked sausage for quicker cooking.
-
Great with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad.
