Shrimp and Sausage Foil Packet Dinner

Instructions:

1. Preheat the grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a grill, set it to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the foil packets:
   • Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×18 inches each). Lightly spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.
3. Mix the ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, sausage, bell peppers, red onion, garlic, and corn pieces.
   • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
4. Assemble the foil packets:
   • Divide the mixture evenly among the 4 foil sheets.
   • Fold the foil over the mixture and tightly seal the edges by crimping or rolling to create a secure packet.
5. Cook the packets:
   • Grill method: Place the packets on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
   • Oven method: Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes until shrimp are opaque and vegetables are tender.
6. Serve:
   • Carefully open the packets (watch for steam) and garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
   • Serve directly from the foil or transfer to plates. Enjoy with crusty bread or over rice!

Tip: For extra flavor, add a pat of butter or a splash of hot sauce before sealing the packets.
