Cajun Shrimp Foil Packs
Description
This recipe assembles peeled and deveined shrimp, sliced smoked sausage, chopped zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic, butter, and Cajun seasoning. The ingredients are mixed and divided evenly onto foil sheets, then sealed and cooked at high heat either in the oven or on the grill for about 15 minutes.
Cooking in foil ensures even heat and retains moisture, resulting in tender shrimp and vegetables infused with smoky sausage flavor and spicy Cajun notes. The butter adds richness, balancing the seasoning's heat.
These foil packs come off the heat ready to serve, optionally finished with a squeeze of lemon to brighten flavors. They are convenient for outdoor cooking or easy cleanup meal prep.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined
- 12-16 ounces smoked sausage (can use turkey, chicken, or beef sausage), sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 medium zucchini or squash
- 1 bell pepper chopped, (any colors you like)
- 1 small red onion chopped
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450F. Cut 4 sheet of foil into long rectangles (about 12''x12''). Set aside.
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Spoon mixture evenly onto the 4 foil sheets. Fold and seal foil. Transfer foil packs to a large baking sheet (skip if grilling).
- Bake or grill 15 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully open foil packs, drizzle with lemon if desired, and serve immediately.
