Shrimp Boil Foil Packets
I saw a video for shrimp boil in foil on facebook and couldn’t resist remaking a similar recipe. The original recipe called for shrimp, Andouille sausage, red potatoes, and corn. In my version I omitted the potatoes and added mushrooms and asparagus as well as slices of limes, fresh cilantro, and chili powder for a hint of Latin flavor.

Notes
- A typical seafood boil is boiled in water and beer in a pot, but in this version you can make them on your grill – mess free without having to dirty any dishes. You can even pre-package them and take them to go and grill them at a park, beach, tailgate, or campground.
