A classic seafood boil is a Southern tradition, often reserved for summertime get-togethers and big family gatherings. This recipe takes that classic dish and puts a Cajun twist on it with the addition of spicy seasonings like paprika, cayenne, garlic, and thyme. By grilling the seafood and vegetables together in a foil packet, all the delicious juices and flavors are trapped in, creating a steaming, flavor-packed seafood feast.

Instructions

1.Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2.In a large pot, add the potatoes and enough salted water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook until they are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3.In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp, sausage, corn, butter, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper until everything is well coated.
4.Making four separate foil packets, place a quarter of the vegetable mixture and lemon wedge on a sheet of foil, fold up the edges to create a foil packet and seal tightly.
5.Place the foil packets on the grill, covering and cooking for about 10-12 minutes or until the shrimp is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
6.Take the foil packets off the grill and open them carefully. Serve with crusty bread and hot sauce if desired.
