INGREDIENTS I USED:
Around 500 grams. Of shrimp, I peeled and deveined them.
2 large husked ears of corn on the cob.
250 grams.Of andouille sausage.
500 grams.Of baby red potatoes.
3 large spoons.Of old bay seasoning.
salt and pepper, to taste
1 Large spoon.Of minced garlic.
The juice of a medium lemon.
3 large spoons.Of melted butter.
1/2 Cup.Of melted butter.
For the topping: chopped fresh parsley.
For serving: Lemon wedges.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1:
I cut the corn into thirds and each third in half lengthwise, then I cut potatoes into 2-inch pieces, and I cooked them for 10 minutes, and I drain the water and put it aside.
Step 2:
In a big mixing dish, I combined the shrimp with the sausage, corn, and potatoes.
Step 3:
And I melted 3 tablespoons of butter with garlic and the juice from half a lemon to season the shrimp and sausages, then I mixed thoroughly and I added salt and pepper and mixed to coat.
Step 4:
I divided the mixture into four 12.12 inch sheets of aluminum foil and rolled the foil edges up over the food to shape a sealed packet.
Step 5:
At this stage, I cooked for around 10 minutes on one side on a preheated grill over medium-high heat, then turned and cooked for another 5 or 6 minutes on the other side.
Step 6:
Otherwise, I baked the packets at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the corn was soft and the shrimp were pink and thoroughly fried.
Step 7:
When the packets are cooking, I melted the remaining butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Step 8:
Once melted, I proceed to swirl gently over medium heat for another 4 minutes, or before the color switches from light yellow to golden amber.
Step 9:
For garnish, I used sliced parsley, lemon wedges for squeezing, and browned butter for drizzling or dipping the shrimp boil bags.
