Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound garlic herb sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
Vegetables:
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
Seasonings and Oil:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges (optional), for serving
Instructions
- Prepare a medium-high heated grill and cut four generously sized aluminum foil sheets to create individual cooking parcels.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, combine shrimp, corn kernels, crisp asparagus spears, and sliced garlic herb sausage. Generously coat the ingredients with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Thoroughly mix to ensure even seasoning distribution.
- Distribute the herb-infused mixture equally across the center of each foil sheet. Carefully fold and crimp the edges to create tight, sealed packets that will prevent any flavorful juices from escaping during cooking.
- Position the sealed foil parcels directly on the grill grates. Cook for approximately 15-18 minutes, maintaining a consistent medium-high temperature. The packets are ready when shrimp transform to a vibrant pink hue and become opaque, and vegetables reach a tender, succulent consistency.
- Remove the packets from the grill with tongs. Cautiously open each packet, being mindful of the intense steam release. Transfer the contents to serving plates and optionally garnish with fresh lemon wedges for an additional burst of citrusy brightness.
Notes
- Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing and ensure even cooking during grilling.
- Opt for fresh, large shrimp with shells removed for quick and easy preparation.
- Customize the seasoning blend by adding smoked paprika or cayenne for extra heat and depth of flavor.
- Substitute sausage with turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner protein option that keeps the dish light and nutritious.
