Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced
Vegetables:
- 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 ear of corn, cut into kernels
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
Seasonings and Oil:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Gather 4 large sheets of aluminum foil and preheat your grill or oven to 400°F.
- Slice 1 pound andouille sausage into ½-inch thick rounds and place in a mixing bowl.
- Add 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp to the sausage bowl and toss gently.
- Peel and cube 2 potatoes into ½-inch chunks, then place in a separate large bowl.
- Cut 1 ear of corn into kernels and slice 1 red bell pepper into thin strips.
- Pour ¼ cup olive oil over the potatoes, corn, and bell pepper.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning and ¼ teaspoon black pepper onto the vegetables.
- Toss the vegetable mixture until each piece is evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
- Divide the seasoned vegetables equally between the 4 foil sheets.
- Top each vegetable portion with the sausage and shrimp mixture.
- Seal the foil packets tightly, creating a closed but slightly loose envelope for steam.
- Place packets on the hot grill or in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Check that shrimp are pink and opaque and potatoes are fork-tender before removing.
- Open packets carefully to avoid steam burns and serve directly from the foil.
Notes
- Aluminum foil creates a steamy environment that keeps everything moist and infuses flavors beautifully while preventing sticking or burning.
- Choose medium-sized shrimp for best texture, ensuring they don’t overcook and become rubbery during grilling or baking.
- Cajun seasoning offers bold flavor, but can be adjusted for spice preference by using mild or hot varieties depending on your taste.
- Gluten-free and low-carb diets work perfectly with this recipe, simply swapping regular sausage for turkey sausage and watching seasoning ingredients.
