Shrimp Gumbo Foil Packets

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!

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.
5. Finish by topping with a small drizzle of oil and place 2 pats of butter on the very top. Fold up tightly the top and bottom then the sides.
6. Place on the hot grill and cook 10-15 minutes.
