What You Need

To make this fantastic Cajun Shrimp in Foil dish, you will need:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 corn on the cob, husked and sliced into four
  • 8oz baby red potato, roughly chopped
  • 1 red onion, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp cajun seasoning
  • 2 tsp seafood seasoning
  • 1 lemon, sliced into wedges
  • Salt, to taste

How to Prepare Cajun Shrimp in Foil

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Take four sheets of aluminum foil and place them on your work surface.

Step 2: Mix and Toss

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, shrimp, andouille sausage, corn, potato, red onion, cajun seasoning, and seafood seasoning. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the seasoning.

Step 3: Create the Foil Packets

Divide the Cajun shrimp mixture evenly amongst the four sheets of aluminum foil. Place the ingredients in the center of each foil sheet and fold in the sides to create a tent shape. Pour two tablespoons of chicken broth into each portion of Cajun shrimp in foil, then seal the foil packet tightly to ensure no deliciousness escapes.

Step 4: Bake and Rest

Place the Cajun shrimp in foil packets onto a baking tray and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Once cooked, remove the foil packets from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes. Be careful when opening the packets as the steam will be hot!

Step 5: Serve and Savor

Serve the Cajun shrimp in foil hot with a fresh squeeze of lemon. Feel free to season it with some additional salt and pepper according to your taste. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy!
