Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1 tbsp. garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. chopped parsley
- 2 tsp. cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 cobs corn, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 12 oz. smoked sausage, cut into ½ inch pieces
- 1 lb. raw shrimp, peeled, thawed and dried if frozen
- Lemon wedge for serving
Directions
- Add the potatoes to a microwave-safe bowl with 1 tbsp. of water. Cover with plastic and cook on high for 4 minutes. Preheat grill to med-high or your oven to 375. Slice the lemon in half and cut 1 half into wedges.
- In a large bowl, add the melted butter, garlic, parsley, cajun seasoning, Old Bay, and a little salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add the par-cooked potatoes, corn cobs, sausage and shrimp to the butter mixture. Toss to combine.
- Divide the mixture onto 4 large pieces of foil that have been sprayed with non-stick spray. Close and seal the foil to form packets.
