low country boil-like grilled foil packets
We just had (9/4/16) our first official Low Country Boil. It was a success!!! But it feeds 12 - 14 people. I wanted something that could feed about 4 people, so I came up with this. Same ingredients; less people; no boiling.

How To Make low country boil-like grilled foil packets
-
Step 1Precook potatoes, 10 minutes in microwave. Cool.
-
Step 2Heat grill to 400 degrees F. (you can do this in your oven, too, at the same temperature).
-
Step 3Evenly distribute corn, potatoes, shrimp & sausage between 4 heavy-duty foil sheets (approx. 12” x 18” each).
-
Step 4Add 4 garlic cloves per packet & drizzle melted butter & ½ bottle beer over each foil packet.
-
Step 5Season evenly (& generously), to taste with Old Bay/Cajun seasoning, salt & pepper.
-
Step 6Tightly seal foil packets by folding up the sides over the contents & tightly folding up the ends over the seam.
-
Step 7Grill 30 – 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender (be careful opening the packets to check for doneness, the steam inside is VERY hot)!
