- 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil and half of the Old Bay seasoning. Microwave the potatoes for 5–7 minutes until slightly tender.
Assemble the Packets
- Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil. Divide the potatoes, shrimp, and corn evenly among the sheets.
- Drizzle melted butter over each packet. Sprinkle with the remaining Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper if desired.
Seal the Packets
- Fold up the sides of each foil sheet to create a sealed packet. Be sure to leave a little room for steam to circulate inside the packets.
Grill the Packets
- Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure the shrimp are pink and fully cooked, and the potatoes are tender.
Serve
- Carefully open the foil packets (watch for steam). Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
