1 large egg

Oil for frying (about 3 tablespoons coconut oil or your preferred oil)



Instructions

In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, self-rising flour, buttermilk, and egg.

Mix well until all ingredients are combined. The mixture should be very moist but not soupy.

1/2 lb smoked sausage (sliced into rounds)

3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)

2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning (or your favorite seafood seasoning)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Optional: lemon wedges for serving

---

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp, potatoes, corn, and sausage.

2. Season the Mixture:

Drizzle the olive oil or melted butter over the mixture. Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat everything evenly.

3. Assemble the Foil Packs:

Cut out large sheets of aluminum foil (one per serving). Divide the mixture evenly among the foil sheets, placing the ingredients in the center of each sheet.

Fold the foil over the mixture and crimp the edges tightly to seal into packets.

4. Cook the Foil Packs:

Grilling: Place the foil packs on the grill and cook for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Oven Baking: Place the foil packs on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes.

Ensure the shrimp is pink, the potatoes are tender, and the sausage is heated through.

5. Serve:

Carefully open the foil packs (watch out for steam). Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a fresh citrus kick.

Tips:

To ensure potatoes cook evenly, parboil them for 5–7 minutes before assembling the foil packs.

You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra color and flavor.

Adjust seasoning to your taste, and add chili flakes for a spicy kick.

Enjoy this flavorful and easy meal!


Shrimp, Corn, Potatoes, and Smoked Sausage Foil Pack Ingredients

 


 

Ingredients

7 quarts plain popped popcorn

2 cups dry roasted peanuts (optional)

2 cups brown sugar

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup margarine

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Place the popped popcorn into two shallow greased baking pans. You may use roasting pans, jelly roll pans, or disposable roasting pans. Add the peanuts to the popped corn if using. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, margarine and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring enough to blend. Once the mixture begins to boil, boil for 5 minutes while stirring constantly.

Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will be light and foamy. Immediately pour over the popcorn in the pans, and stir to coat. Don’t worry too much at this point about getting all of the corn coated.

Bake for 1 hour, removing the pans, and giving them each a good stir every 15 minutes. Line the counter top with waxed paper. Dump the corn out onto the waxed paper and separate the pieces. Allow to cool completely, then store in airtight containers or resealable bags.
