A quick and easy grilled shrimp boil foil packet recipe featuring shrimp, corn, and spicy andouille sausage, perfect for outdoor cooking and packed with bold smoky flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 ears fresh corn, cut into thirds (or 3 cups frozen corn kernels)
  • 12 ounces andouille sausage, sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
  2. Cut fresh corn into thirds or thaw frozen kernels. Slice the andouille sausage into ½-inch rounds. In another bowl, combine the corn, sausage, minced garlic, and melted butter. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 18 inches each). Divide the shrimp evenly among the sheets. Top each with the corn and sausage mixture, then place 2-3 lemon slices on top. Fold the foil over the ingredients and seal edges tightly to create a packet—double fold the seams to avoid leaks.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C).
  5. Place the foil packets on the grill and close the lid. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque, and the sausage and corn should be sizzling and tender.
  6. Carefully open one packet to check doneness (watch out for steam!). The shrimp should curl slightly and feel firm. If not done, reseal and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Transfer packets to plates and sprinkle chopped parsley over each before serving.

Notes

Do not overcook the shrimp to avoid rubbery texture. Use fresh spices for best flavor. Seal foil packets tightly to trap steam and smoke. Marinate shrimp for 10 minutes to boost flavor. For more char, open packets in last 2 minutes and place directly on grill grates. If no grill is available, bake packets in a 400°F oven for about 20 minutes.
