Shrimp and Sausage Foil Packet Dinner

Ingredients:

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 1/2 lb smoked sausage (like Andouille or kielbasa), sliced into 1/2-inch pieces

• 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)

• 1 small red onion, sliced

• 1 cup baby potatoes, halved or quartered (optional)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional, for a little heat)

• 1/2 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the grill or oven:
   If using a grill, preheat to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). If using the oven, preheat to 400°F.

2. Prepare the foil packets:
   Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×18 inches each).

3. Combine ingredients:
   In a large bowl, toss together shrimp, sausage, bell pepper, onion, potatoes (if using), garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until everything is evenly coated.

4. Divide and assemble:
   Divide the mixture evenly onto each foil sheet, spreading it out in the center. Fold the foil over the mixture and seal the edges tightly to form packets.

5. Cook:

   • Grill: Place packets on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, and potatoes are tender.

   • Oven: Place packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until shrimp are cooked and potatoes are tender.

6. Serve:
   Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam). Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
