Easy, make-ahead foil packets packed with shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes. It’s a full meal with zero clean-up!
Ingredients

We love this recipe!!! Great summertime food
This was incredibly easy and yummy! Both kids loved it, even though at first they had their doubts. I did change a couple of things. First, I did not include corn in the packet. Instead I cooked the corn on the cob and served it separately. The other thing I did was I used Creole seasoning just because I didn’t want it to be too spicy. I also used frozen raw deveined, tail-off shrimp (thawed). It was SO yummy and quick! Definitely need to do this one again. Thank you so much for yet another great recipe!
When my husband says “I would serve this to company”…..you know it’s a winner! And this won the prize! Great recipe! I changed it up a bit. Used the Old Bay like the other reviewers but added smoked paprika and garlic powder. I also used tiny, mini, baby potatoes which I halved. No need to pre-cook those. I did however parboil the corn. Cooked it all on the grill at 425 for 20 minutes and came out perfect!
This is my family’s favorite summertime dinner!! LOVE it and it’s so easy to make!
I love this meal! So easy and the family loves it. I do it in the oven and it takes a bit longer than suggested, but it turns out really great. I use Tony Chacheres as my cajon spices and it’s fantastic! An easy, must-try!
I use his creole seasoning as it is a little milder. My family prefers sweet italian sausage. These are delicious.
My husband won’t eat anything spicy, so I’m going to substitute regular smoked sausage and some Old Bay seasoning (at least for his). I know my daughter and her fincee would love this, too!
Glory be to Jesus. Did it in on the Traeger. Amazing!
I wnat to do these on my Trager. How long did you cook them for?
Great recipe
Have made these many times and everyone loves them. So easy and zero cleanup! I recommend this recipe to serve to family and friends. They won’t be disappointed.
Made this while we were camping and it was wonderful. Great flavor. I will be making this again!
We go camping a lot, so I changed it up. I added a can of roasted corn, drained and smoked turkey sausage. Instead of individual packets I did it in a foil pan. It was easier especially when I had to double the recipe for a lot of people. Its so yummy.
I’m making this for camping as well and prefer to mix everything in the foil pan ahead of time rather than at the camp site, did you do that or make it there!? If so how long do you think it’ll be ok for in a cooler before cooking?
I froze the packets and kept them on ice in cooler. I placed the frozen packets directly on the coals for 45 – 50 minutes and it was perfect.
Did you put seasoning in the frozen foil packets or do that at campsite?
I would add to the recipe to put everything in a single layer. Things didn’t cook thoroughly because it was slightly piled and the potatoes would be better boiled first then baked with the rest because they needed more time than the shrimp
Exactly what I thought great idea thanks!!!
I bet canned potatoes would work great! 🙂
I really enjoyed this recipe!! Used Tony Chacere’s and lemon pepper seasonings along with salt and pepper. I precooked my potatoes in the microwave for about 7 minutes. So delicious and easy! I made 2 foil packets…put them in the oven on 425 for about 20-25 minutes and they were perfect! Shrimp and sausage was perfectly tender, potatoes were just right, corn was tasty! I will definitely make it again.
Thanks for sharing recipe. Did mine in the oven at 425 for about 20 minutes. Came out perfect. Did precook red potatoes in microwave for 5 minutes. Used Old Bay seasoning instead of Cajun. The andouille sausage had the right amount of kick. Definitely making this again!
I’ve made this several times in the past couple of years on the grill or in the oven. I eventually cut out the cajun seasoning as the chicken andouille sausage that I use now is spicy enough for us. We travel in our RV for months at a time and this is a quick and easy, yummy meal with no clean up. I don’t precook anything. I often buy frozen deveined raw shrimp and frozen corn on the cob to keep in the freezer. A family favorite.
How long did you put into the oven
Great recipes. Keep up the good work. However you have too many ads. It turned me off as soon as I visited site.
Hi Eddie, that’s how we keep our recipes coming and free of charge.

Great! Baked in oven…precooked corn and potatoes! Added butter to packet & asparagus! Many compliments…will definitely make again! Yummy! Served with garlic bread.
The flavors were on point but WHOA NELLY. That is a lot of cajun spice, I’ll probably use about half that next time. My corn and potatoes definitely weren’t done after 17 minutes either, I should have read the reviews. I just threw them in the microwave for a couple mins after i took them out. 🙂
Made this put in the oven at 425° for the 17min.had to cook it 8 min longer potatoes and shrimp not done shrimp done potatoes still not fully cooked had to microwave for three minutes more followed your instructions and next time going to preboil potatoes
I think I see tiny tomatoes in this recipe, don’t I?
No, there are no tomatoes in this recipe.
Tiny red potatoes are what you see. 🙂
