🧄 Ingredients (Serves 4):

🦐 Main:

1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 oz (340g) andouille sausage or smoked sausage, sliced
2 cups baby potatoes, halved
2 ears of corn, cut into 3-inch pieces (or 1½ cups frozen corn)
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped

🧂 Seasoning:

2½ tablespoons Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for extra smokiness)
Salt & pepper to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
Juice of 1 lemon

🧈 Optional Extras:

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Hot sauce (for heat lovers)
Grated parmesan (for a creamy finish)

🍳 Instructions:

🔧 Prep (10–15 mins):

Preheat your grill to medium-high or your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn, bell pepper, and onion.
Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter. Add Cajun seasoning, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is coated evenly.

📦 Wrap It Up:

Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches each).
Divide the mixture evenly among the sheets.
Fold the sides of the foil over the mixture, sealing the edges tightly to create foil packets.

🔥 Cooking:

Grill: Place packets on the grill and cook for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway.
Oven: Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20–22 minutes.
Campfire: Nestle into hot coals and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning once.

✅ Final Touch:

Carefully open packets (watch out for steam!). Garnish with chopped parsley, an extra squeeze of lemon, and a dash of hot sauce.

📜 A Little History:

Cajun cuisine is a rich cultural blend of French, West African, and Spanish influences brought to the American South by the Acadians — French-speaking settlers from Canada who made Louisiana their home in the 18th century.

Their cooking emphasizes local ingredients, bold spices, and resourceful, rustic methods — like cooking everything in one pot (or foil pack!). This dish is a modern twist on a Cajun-style seafood boil, made easier and cleaner, without sacrificing that deep Southern flavor.
