Ingredients
Scale
Seafood & Meat
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

Vegetables
- 1 ear of corn, cut into kernels
- 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
Seasoning & Oil
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare vegetables: Peel and cube the potatoes, slice the red bell pepper, and cut the corn kernels off the ear. Gather all vegetables to ready for seasoning.
- Toss vegetables with seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, cubed potatoes, and sliced red bell pepper with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat all the vegetables in the seasoning mixture.
- Prepare shrimp and sausage: In a separate bowl, place the peeled and deveined shrimp along with the sliced andouille sausage. Mix gently to combine.
- Assemble foil packs: Lay out two large sheets of aluminum foil. Evenly divide the seasoned vegetables between the two sheets, then top each with half the shrimp and sausage mixture.
- Seal and cook: Fold the foil over the ingredients to create sealed packets, ensuring no leaks. Place the foil packs on a grill or in a preheated oven.
- Cook until done: Grill or bake the foil packs for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the shrimp and sausage are cooked through and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Carefully open the foil packets to avoid steam burns, then serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful foil pack meal!
