I’ve long been a fan of things prepared in a foil packet—we’ll make them quite a bit when out on the boat or camping. This one, with fresh seafood, sausage, corn on the cob and potatoes, just tastes like summer on the shore. —Laura Davis, Chincoteague, Virginia

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds uncooked shell-on shrimp (16-20 per pound)
1-1/2 pounds red potatoes, quartered
26 fresh littleneck clams
3 medium ears sweet corn, cut into 1-inch slices
3/4 pound smoked kielbasa or fully cooked andouille sausage links, cut into 1-inch slices
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning
1 medium lemon, sliced

Directions

Divide shrimp, potatoes, clams, corn and sausage on 6 pieces of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with seafood seasoning. Top with lemon slices. Fold foil around mixture, sealing tightly.
Grill, covered, over medium-high heat until clams open and vegetables are tender, 25-30 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Discard any unopened clams.

James if you read the recipe it says to divide every thing in to 6 foil packets not every thing in separate packs. I hope this helps

My family loved this recipe! I did exactly what the recipe said; I divided the ingredients among the six foil pieces and I used the roasted size potatoes, still cutting them in half, and it was absolutely delicious!

The idea is great, however your execution of the recipe is way off. Your picture shows one foil packet with all the ingredients mixed together. Yet the directions say put all the ingredients in separate packets, and you have one to many packets for the list of ingredients. Do some proof reading.

The potatoes were still crunchy like apples so we put back in oven for twenty more minutes. At this point the shrimp were so overcooked that the peels didn't want to come off. Next time I will boil the potatoes for 10 minutes before adding them to packet.
