Cajun Shrimp Foil Packets

I recently cooked up this quick and yummy and healthy summertime meal for my family, and we all just loved it.  And I bet you will love it too!

Harris Sisters GirlTalk: Cajun Shrimp Foil Packets

Cajun Shrimp Foil Packets

1 lb. cleaned large shrimp
3 oz fully-cooked turkey/ chicken andouille sausage, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp cajun or creole seasoning
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 1/2 cups of corn kernels
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. 
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cajun seasoning, salt and pepper. Add shrimp and toss to coat. 
  3. Place 4 large pieces (10 x 18) of heavy duty aluminum foil on a flat surface.  
  4. Divide the sausage, zucchini, bell pepper, and corn among the foil pieces.  Top each with shrimp (about 6 pieces each.) Sprinkle each packet with about 1 Tbsp each of parsley and basil. 
  5. Drizzle each packet with about 1 Tbsp of wine, and 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil. 
  6. Fold each piece of foil to form a packet, sealing tightly but leaving a little room for air to circulate. Packets may be refrigerated or frozen at this stage. 
  7. Arrange packets on a baking sheet.  Cook at 425 degrees until shrimp is cooked through and vegetables are crisp-tender, about 15-20 minutes. 
  8. Open packets slowly and transfer to bowls or rimmed plates.

Notes:

The only change that I  made to this recipe was the addition of onions, because we love onions and add them to almost every meal.  :)
