Creating Shrimp Boil Foil Packets is straightforward when you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven/Grill: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill.
2. Cut Foil: Tear off large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Each packet should be about 12-14 inches long.
3. Prepare Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn.
4. Season: Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle in Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything until evenly coated.
5. Assemble Packets: Place an equal amount of the mixture in the center of each foil sheet.
6. Seal Packets: Fold the sides of the foil up and over the mixture, sealing them tightly to prevent steam from escaping.
7. Cooking: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet or directly on the grill. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and vegetables are tender.
8. Careful Unfolding: Remove packets from heat. Open carefully to avoid steam, and check for doneness.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
10. Serve: Place lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the meal.
