Servings: 4
One of our family's favorite summer meals is these Easy Shrimp & Sausage Foil Packs. Whether we're cooking on the grill while friends are over or popping them into the oven on a busy weeknight, they're always a hit.
They're everything a summer meal should be:
Fun to assemble
Ready in no time
Easy cleanup
Completely customizable
Everyone gets their own little foil packet filled with their favorite ingredients.
One of the best things about foil packs is how easy they are to customize. Everyone can build their own with the ingredients they enjoy most. Not in the mood for shrimp? Simply substitute kielbasa, andouille sausage, chicken, or another favorite protein.
We love entertaining, especially during the summer, and these foil packs have become our go-to meal. They remind me of the sheet pan dinners everyone seems to be making these days, but I think they're even more fun because everyone gets their own individual foil packet to open at the table. Watching everyone open their own little foil "present" and discover what's inside always brings a smile to my face.
For this version, we seasoned everything with Cherchies® Cajun Seasoning, giving it those classic Cajun boil flavors we all love. The best part is that this recipe can become an entirely different meal simply by changing the seasoning blend.
Not sure which seasoning to choose? Each one brings its own unique flavor profile, so don't be afraid to experiment. You may just discover your new family favorite!
Here are a few of our favorites:
Cherchies® Cajun Seasoning – Bold Louisiana-inspired flavor with just the right amount of heat.
Cherchies® Garlic Seasoning – A savory, family-friendly option that pairs beautifully with shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn.
Cherchies® Lemon Dill Seasoning – Bright, fresh flavors that are perfect for seafood and summer vegetables.
Cherchies® Lem 'N Pepper Spicy Blend – Citrusy with a peppery kick that's fantastic on shrimp.
Cherchies® Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning – Fresh citrus flavor that gives these foil packs a delicious Southwestern twist.
It's amazing how one simple recipe can create an entirely different flavor experience just by changing the seasoning.

Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
12–14 ounces fully cooked kielbasa or andouille sausage, sliced
1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
2 ears fresh corn, cut into thirds
1 zucchini, sliced into ½-inch half-moons (optional, but cook in a separate foil pack)
1 yellow squash, sliced into ½-inch half-moons (optional, but cook in a separate foil pack)
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (you can use whatever pepper you have on hand)
1 small onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
2–3 tablespoons olive oil
2–3 tablespoons Cherchies® Cajun Seasoning (or your favorite Cherchies® seasoning)
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Preparation
Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F.
If needed, par-boil the potatoes for 5–7 minutes until just beginning to soften. Drain well.
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, corn, zucchini, squash, bell pepper, onion, sausage, olive oil, and Cherchies® Cajun Seasoning. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
Gently fold in the shrimp.
Divide the mixture evenly among four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold and seal the foil packets tightly.
Grill or bake the foil packets for 15–20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Carefully open the foil packets (watch for the hot steam!), garnish with fresh parsley and lemon if desired, and serve immediately.
A Few Tips
Use baby potatoes, cut in half or even thirds. If they're on the larger side, par-boil them for 5–7 minutes before assembling the foil packets since shrimp cook so quickly.
We prefer fully cooked kielbasa or andouille sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces. They cook perfectly alongside the vegetables and shrimp.
If you're using raw Italian sausage, we recommend cooking it beforehand or preparing it in a separate foil packet to ensure it reaches a safe internal temperature.
If you're grilling, consider cooking the vegetables in separate foil packets. They often need a little longer than the shrimp, so everything finishes cooking at the same time.
