Ingredients
MEAT: You’ll want to use large boiler shrimp and your favorite smoked sausage. You can also add in bay scallops, salmon, crawfish, crab, even bacon!
VEGGIES: Small sections of corn on the cob and potatoes are slightly cooked before putting the packets together. This helps them cook quickly along with the shrimp and sausage. Feel free to add in asparagus spears, bell peppers, or even green beans!
FLAVOR: Challenge Butter adds the best flavor since it is made the old-fashioned way; from the freshest milk and cream from happy cows!
These packets are simply seasoned with a sprinkle of old bay, cajun seasoning, and some garlic. If you like a little bit of heat, add a few dashes of Tabasco!
How to Make Shrimp Boil Foil Packets
These are yummy, easy to make, and customizable for summer BBQ time!
- Boil corn & potatoes in salted water until tender. Toss with the seasoned butter mixture.
- Place seasoned shrimp & veggies in the center of a square of heavy-duty aluminum foil & top with a slice of lemon (or a few dashes of hot sauce).
- Seal the packets & bake or grill per the recipe below.
These packets are great served with extra melted butter for dipping and dunking and a slice of cornbread.
Tips for Perfect Packets
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil will stay intact during the cooking process as well as during serving and eating.
- Since the shrimp cooks quickly, pre-cook the potatoes and corn so it all finishes at the same time.
- Avoid overcrowding the packets so the shrimp and sausage heat through properly.
- Make these ahead of time. When it’s time to eat, simply pull packets from the fridge and cook them!
Leftovers
Remove leftover shrimp boil ingredients from their packets and place in an airtight container. They should keep for about 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in a fresh foil packet on the grill, or on a baking sheet in the oven.
