Ingredients

  • 2 lb Large Shrimp
  • 20 oz Smoked Sausage sliced
  • 8 Corn Cob Halves
  • 5-6 Large Red Potatoes cut into small pieces (about 1")
  • 4 Garlic Bulbs tip cut off
  • 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 Tablespoons Crab Boil
  • 4 Tablespoons Parsley freshly chopped

Instructions

  • If you are using a charcoal grill, go ahead and light your coals and let them get red.
  • Cut 8 pieces of foil (each about 24"). Lay 2 pieces down on top of each other.
  • Take 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil and pour it on the top side of the foil.
  • Using your fingers rub that oil all over that foil surface.
  • Take 1 quarter of the ingredients - 2 pieces of corn, 1 garlic bulb, some potatoes, shrimp and sausage and place over on one side of the foil.
  • Take 1 Tablespoon of the crab boil and sprinkle all over the ingredients.
  • Close the other side of the foil over the top of the ingredients. Crimp all sides closed and make sure there are no seams open.
  • Repeat this process with the other three foil packets.
  • Lay the foil packets on the grill and allow to cook for 15 minutes (+/-) turning the packets half way.
  • After you remove them from the grill, open up and sprinkle with the tablespoon of parsley and add lemon wedges to serve.

Notes

The amount of spice in boiled shrimp is a personal preference. You may feel like 1 tablespoon of crab boil is not enough. Feel free to add more as required. (or less).
Make sure the potatoes are small in size as they will not cook in time. If you prefer your potatoes bigger perhaps try partially cooking them first.
