Shrimp Gumbo Foil Packets

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I love making foil packets! There are a million things to cook in them, they are so easy and minimal cleanup.

Last year I made Shrimp Boil Packets and they were a huge hit so I wanted to recreate it this year. I had recently purchased a new gumbo seasoning, and based on the way it smelled I really wanted to use it! And boy am I glad I made the purchase!

Shrimp, corn on the cob, potatoes and andouille sausage in a foil packet

This Shrimp Gumbo Foil Packet is probably one of the top 5 dishes I’ve ever made. My husband and I loved it that much! I was stuffed beyond capacity so much to the point I had to lay down – lol! But I couldn’t stop eating!

Now this recipe does call for the special seasoning blend Gumbeaux Seasoning* but gosh, I think it’s absolutely worth it. You’ll find plenty of other things to use it on, I have no doubt!

In addition to cooking our entire meal in foil packets, I will oftentimes make side dishes on the grill using the foil method. I simply chop up any veggies I have in the fridge, sprinkle with whatever seasonings I have on hand and a little olive oil and I’m ready to go! Cook on the grill or in the oven.

  2. Prepare the corn. Cut each ear of corn into 3 pieces.
  3. In a large bowl combine the okra, potatoes, andouille sausage, shrimp, gumbo seasoning, old bay, salt, pepper and a big drizzle of olive oil. Toss well to combine. Everything should be very well coated in the oil and seasonings.
  4. Make an assembly line of the 4 pieces of foil. Divide the corn event amount each foil packet, then top with the seasoned sausage mixture. Note: place the shrimp on the top of the pile, shrimp cook so quickly you do not want them directly in contact with the grill.

Notes

*If you did not have the Gumbeaux Seasoning Blend (I would highly recommend it thou, it really is fantastic), you can use this Cajun Seasoning Mix: 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon celery seed, 2 Tbsp paprika, 1 Tbsp garlic powder, 1 Tbsp dried thyme, 1 Tbsp dried oregano

Promo Code: If you did want to try the Gumbeaux Seasoning use promo code: DITK20 to save 20%. This not paid or sponsored in any way, I just really like the seasoning!

    With the Old Bay seasoning—which one is it? I see there is Old Bay Paprika, Blackened, etc…

      I’m sorry, Lindy. I don’t quite understand your question. “With the Old Bay seasoning”, happy to help just need a bit more information. Thank you!
