Ingredients

  • Large or extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Smoked beef andouille sausage, sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
  • Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Red onion, cut into chunks
  • Yellow onion, cut into chunks
  • Mini corn on the cob or fresh/frozen corn kernels
  • Baby red potatoes, halved or quartered into 1-inch pieces
  • Cajun seasoning, to taste (1-2 tablespoons recommended)
  • Olive oil, 2-3 tablespoons
  • Lemon wedges, for garnish
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Thaw your shrimp if frozen and pat them dry. Slice the smoked beef sausage into ½-inch rounds. Chop all vegetables into roughly 1-inch pieces. If using baby red potatoes, consider par-boiling them for 5-7 minutes beforehand.
  2. Season Everything: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, sliced sausage, and all chopped vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Cajun seasoning over everything. Toss well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
  3. Prepare Your Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Thread the seasoned shrimp, sausage, and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating ingredients. Leave a little space between each piece.
  4. Assemble the Foil Packets: Tear off large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place one assembled skewer in the center of each foil sheet.
  5. Seal the Packets: Bring the longer sides of the foil up over the skewer and fold them down tightly. Fold in the shorter ends to fully seal the packet.
  6. Cook 'Em Up!: For the grill, preheat to medium-high heat and cook the sealed packets for 12-18 minutes, flipping halfway. For the oven, preheat to 400°F and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  7. Serve: Carefully open the packets and slide the skewers onto plates. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Nutrition

Keywords: Use heavy-duty foil to prevent tearing. Don't overcook the shrimp; they should turn pink and opaque within 10-15 minutes. Customize the heat level of the Cajun seasoning to suit your taste.
