Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 shell-on jumbo shrimp, deveined
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
6 small red skin potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 links andouille sausage (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch slices
16 littleneck clams, scrubbed
2 ears corn, cut into 1-inch wheels
4 tablespoons butter
1 lemon, sliced into 8 rounds
2 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
Grilled crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Toss the shrimp with the seafood seasoning. Place two 12-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil per packet (8 sheets total for 4 packets) on a flat surface. Divide the ingredients among the 4 packets, layering in the potato slices, sausage slices, shrimp, clams, corn wheels, butter, lemon rounds and scallions. Fold up the ends of the foil and seal into packets.
  • Place the packets on the grill, cover and cook until the clams open and the potatoes and shrimp are cooked, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with grilled crusty bread.

FOIL-PACKET SHRIMP BOIL

The beauty of a foil-pack is that it traps all the juices and flavors of a meal in a tidy bundle. In this recipe, as the shrimps cook, their natural juices combine with butter, white wine and other seasonings to create an abundant pool of broth perfect for dipping crusty bread into.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ears fresh corn or 4 small pieces thawed frozen corn on the cob, cut into 1-inch-thick pieces
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp (no need to thaw if using frozen)
1 lemon, zest grated, cut into wedges
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium. Microwave the potatoes until softened but not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Let cool a few minutes, then dice.
  • Put 4 tablespoons butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Add the potatoes, corn, garlic and Old Bay and toss well; season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Tear off four 18-inch-long sheets of foil. Divide the vegetables among the foil sheets, piling them in the middle. Add the shrimp to the same bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper; toss well. Add the shrimp to the vegetable piles.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons wine over each pile of vegetables and shrimp. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into 4 pieces and add a piece to each pile. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice; fold in the sides to form a packet.
  • Grill the foil packets until the potatoes are tender and the shrimp is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and let stand 5 minutes. Carefully open the packets and sprinkle with the parsley; serve with the lemon wedges.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb small red potatoes, halved
4 pieces frozen mini corn on the cob, thawed, cut in half
2 teaspoons oil
2 teaspoons Old Bay™ seasoning
1 lb uncooked peeled deveined extra-large shrimp (16 to 20 count)
12 oz fully cooked andouille sausage, sliced
1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Place potatoes in microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 6 minutes or until potatoes are just tender. Add corn to potatoes; drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the seasoning; mix until evenly coated. Place shrimp in medium bowl; toss with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and remaining 1 teaspoon seasoning; mix until evenly coated.
  • Place equal amount of sausage on center of each sheet of foil. Dividing evenly, arrange potato and corn mixture around sausage. Divide shrimp evenly over sausage. Squeeze 1 wedge of lemon over each pack.
  • Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  • Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 6 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 5 to 7 minutes longer or until shrimp are pink and sausage is heated through. Remove packs from grill, cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil; sprinkle with parsley, and top with remaining lemon wedges.
