With the rich and savory flavors of Cajun spices, grilled shrimp, corn, and sausage—you’ll swear your mouth is on fire! And there is NO MESS. Summer grilling is in full swing. And we’re loving it!
Cajun Shrimp Foil Packets
The shrimp, corn, and sausage pack a flavorful punch of cajun flavors that will have your taste buds doing flips for hours on end. And there’s no mess—just open the foil packet, add the contents to your grill pan, and let the magic happen! We make Cajun Shrimp foil packets all the time for dinner in the summer! When the temps start reaching triple-digits, I will do anything I can to keep the heat out of my kitchen. The whole family loves them and there is no mess. Not only are they convenient, but they are filled with shrimp, andouille sausage, corn, potatoes, and lots of Cajun flavor. When it comes down to it though…the best thing about these foil packets is that they’re so easy to make! Just toss everything together in one bowl or measuring cup (I use a measuring cup), put some foil on a cookie sheet (or aluminum foil if you’re using a grill pan) and put it over a grill, a campfire, or even in the oven.—no fussing with little pots or pans here!
Added Benefit of Foil Packets – No Mess!
Not only is there virtually no mess when making them, there is no mess when eating them either! My family will eat them right out of the foil packet, crumple up the foil, and throw it away. This is the perfect meal for camping. You can prepare the packets ahead of time and throw them on the fire when you get to your campsite. Clean up is a breeze!
Cajun Shrimp Foil Packets in the Oven
If you don’t have a grill or aren’t wanting the outdoor experience, you can also make these in your oven at 400-degrees for the same amount of time. Place each packet on a cookie sheet and bake as you would on the grill. Another great thing about these foil packets is that each person can make and customize their own, which makes EVERYONE happy. This prevents picking through and removing contents that someone else would enjoy. We like to dip some of the contents of the packets in ranch dressing or BBQ sauce, but it is great as-is if you want to serve it plain.
Are Cajun Shrimp Foil Packets Gluten Free?
Yes! Cajun Shrimp Foil Packets are gluten free when you use a gluten free chicken broth. We like to use Swanson’s Chicken Broth which is always gluten free.
