Ingredients
1 poundbaby red potatoes large ones cut in half, small ones can stay whole
3earssweet cornhusks and silks removed
7 ouncessmoked sausageI used skinless (no casing)
1poundmedium raw shrimpshells off, tails on if desired
Add the potatoes to a medium pot, cover with cold water and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Once the water boils, cook the potatoes for six minutes. Drain and set aside.
Carefully cut the corn into 2-inch pieces. I do this by running a knife around the cob to score it but not cut it all the way through, then I bend it until it snaps. Set aside.
Slice the smoked sausage in to 1/2" or thinner pieces. Set aside.
Tear off 4 sheets of foil about 16 inches long.
On one half, add the potatoes, corn, and smoked sausage. Pile the shrimp on top and add 1/4 of the Old Bay, Cajun seasoning,salt, butter and olive oil.
Sprinkle with parsley and seal the side shut by folding them tightly.
Grill over medium coals or flame 17-18 minutes. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon, some more fresh parsley and a drizzle more olive oil if needed.
Notes
To bake, place the packets in the oven at 400 for 17-18 minutes.
