Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the corn on the cob into 1-inch rounds. Slice the andouille sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Tear off four 12x12 inch pieces of foil. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, corn, and sausage. Add the melted butter, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.

  3. 3

    Divide the shrimp mixture evenly among the four foil pieces, placing it in the center of each. Fold the foil to create sealed packets, ensuring no steam can escape.

  4. 4

    Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through and the corn is tender. Carefully open the packets.
