Low Country Shrimp

Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb small red potatoes, halvedy
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
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
DIRECTIONS:
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
- Place potatoes in a 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 a medium bowl; toss with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and remaining 1 teaspoon seasoning; mix until evenly coated.
- Place an equal amount of sausage on the 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 the grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook for 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 the grill, cut large X across the top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil; sprinkle with parsley, and top with remaining lemon wedges.
Options:
Two ears of fresh sweet corn can be substituted for the frozen corn in this recipe. Cut each ear into 4 pieces.
To make it in the oven, place the packs on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375°F 23 to 25 minutes or until shrimp are pink and sausage is heated through.
