This easy and flavorful smoked sausage and shrimp boil foil packets recipe is perfect for quick cookouts or family dinners, combining smoky sausage, tender shrimp, corn, and potatoes with a bold seasoning blend.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces smoked sausage (kielbasa or andouille), sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
  • 1 pound baby red potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 ears corn on the cob, cut into thirds
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 whole lemon, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the veggies and sausage: wash and halve the baby red potatoes, cut corn into thirds, slice smoked sausage into 1/2-inch pieces, mince garlic, and thinly slice lemon.
  2. Mix the seasoning: combine smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Toss ingredients together: in a large bowl, add potatoes, corn, sausage, and shrimp. Pour melted butter over and sprinkle seasoning mix evenly. Toss gently but thoroughly.
  4. Assemble foil packets: tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty foil (about 12×18 inches each). Divide mixture evenly among sheets. Add lemon slices on top. Fold foil over and seal tightly, leaving room for steam circulation.
  5. Grill the packets: place packets on a preheated grill over medium heat (around 375°F). Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until potatoes are tender and shrimp are pink and opaque.
  6. Rest and garnish: carefully remove packets from grill, open, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

To speed up cooking, parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before assembling packets. Use heavy-duty foil to prevent tearing and juice leakage. Medium heat is best to avoid burning. Seal packets tightly to trap steam and flavor. Can bake in oven at 400°F for 25-30 minutes if no grill is available.
