Ingredients

1 lb. (450 g) red potatoes, diced into 1" (2.5-cm) pieces (about 4 medium potatoes)
¼ cup (60 mL) butter (½ stick), melted
1 tbsp (15 mL) Garlic Rub
¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
½ pkg (6 oz./175 g) andouille sausage, cut into thin slices
2 ears corn on the cob, cut in half TIP: To cut full corn cobs in half, make a small cut in the middle. Then use your hands to snap them in half.
1 lb. (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined TIP: If your shrimp is frozen, put it in a colander and run cool water over it to quickly defrost.
Optional Toppings: Lemon wedge, parsley

Directions

Preheat the oven or grill to 425°F (220°C).
Combine the potatoes and ½ cup (125 mL) of water in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 8 minutes, or until softened.
TIP: The potatoes will finish cooking in the oven or on the grill.
Combine the butter, rub, and salt in a small bowl. Set 4 pieces of aluminum foil down on the counter.
Drain the potatoes, then evenly divide them onto the 4 pieces of foil. Top with the sausage, corn, and shrimp.
Drizzle the garlic butter evenly over each packet. Fold the foil together and pinch the seams closed.
TIP: Cooking everything in foil packets traps all the juices, so your food comes out moist and flavorful.
To cook in the oven, place the packets on a sheet pan and cook for 20–25 minutes. To cook on the grill, place the packets directly on the grill, close the lid, and cook for about 20 minutes, rotating halfway through.
To serve, carefully open the packets and top with a lemon wedge and chopped parsley, if you’d like.
