Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 pound baby potatoes, halved

2 ears of corn, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust based on desired spice level)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Foil: Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil, roughly 12 inches long each, and lay them flat on a clean, dry surface.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the peeled shrimp, halved baby potatoes, and corn pieces. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle in the minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well-coated with the seasoning blend.

      Assemble the Packets: Evenly distribute the shrimp and vegetable mixture across the four foil sheets. Gather the edges of the foil and fold them tightly together to seal each packet, leaving some space inside for steam to circulate.

        Cook the Packets: Place the assembled foil packets directly on the grill grates or on a baking sheet in the oven. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the potatoes are fork-tender. If grilling, flip each packet halfway through for optimal cooking.

          Serve: Once cooked, carefully open each foil packet (watch out for hot steam that escapes) and transfer the contents onto serving plates. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and add lemon wedges on the side for an additional burst of flavor.

            Enjoy!: Savor your Coastal Charm Shrimp Boil Foil Packets, enjoying the juicy shrimp contrasted with the sweet, tender vegetables—all enveloped in a perfect blend of vibrant flavors!
