Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Tear off two 18-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil.

  2. Step 2

    Divide shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn between the two foil sheets.

  3. Step 3

    Dot each packet with 2 tbsp butter and half the garlic. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and salt.

  4. Step 4

    Fold foil loosely over the filling and seal by folding edges twice. Leave room for steam.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 15 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and shrimp turns opaque.

  6. Step 6

    Carefully tear open (steam will escape). Squeeze lemon over top and serve immediately.
