Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Grill: Preheat your outdoor grill to a consistent 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

02

Step

Par-Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add the quartered potatoes and simmer for approximately 10 minutes to give them a head start in cooking. Drain thoroughly.

03

Step

Assemble the Foil Packets: Lay out four 12x18-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a clean, flat surface.

04

Step

Load the Packets: Divide the shrimp, potatoes, kielbasa, and corn evenly among the foil sheets. For each packet, add 1 tablespoon of butter, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and then add 1 1/2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of Creole seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper over each.

05

Step

Add Lemon and Seal: Squeeze a lemon wedge over each pile, then place the squeezed rind on top for added flavor. Carefully wrap each sheet of foil into a tightly sealed packet, ensuring there are no openings for steam to escape.

06

Step

Grill to Perfection: Place the foil packets directly onto the preheated grill. Cover the grill and allow the packets to cook and steam until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, and the potatoes are tender, approximately 15 to 18 minutes.

07

Step

Serve with Flair: Remove the packets from the grill with care. Allow them to cool slightly before carefully unwrapping each one. Serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of your favorite hot sauce directly into the foil packets before sealing.
Don't overcrowd the grill; work in batches if necessary to maintain consistent heat.
Adjust the amount of Creole seasoning to your personal preference for spice.
Serve with crusty bread for soaking up all the delicious juices from the boil!

    I added a little bit of Old Bay seasoning for an extra kick, and it was fantastic.

  • Marty Herzog

    The potatoes took a little longer to cook than the shrimp, so I might parboil them for a bit longer next time.

  • Athena Deckow

    Next time, I'm going to try adding some garlic cloves to the packets for more flavor.
