2 Tbsp. Cajun seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced

Grilled Cajun Shrimp Foil Packets

Directions

Set grill to medium-high. Heat a medium pot of water to a boil. Add corn and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
Meanwhile, microwave potatoes according to package directions. Cool slightly and cut any large potatoes in half.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat butter until melted. Add Cajun seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add shrimp and sausage to the bowl. Stir until coated in butter.
Place four 12x12" sheets of foil on a work surface. Divide corn and potatoes among foil sheets. Top with shrimp, sausage and Cajun butter. Fold foil sides up to cover food completely and seal packets.
Place packets on grill and cook until sausage is hot and shrimp is cooked through, flipping packets halfway through, about 15 minutes. To serve, top each opened foil packet with parsley and lemon wedges to squeeze over top.
