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 lemon zest

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)

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). Tear off four large sheets of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long, and lay them flat on a clean surface.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, halved baby potatoes, corn pieces, olive oil, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the shrimp and vegetables are evenly coated in the seasoning.

      Assemble the Packets: Divide the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly among the four sheets of foil. Gather the edges of the foil and fold them together to create a sealed packet, ensuring there are small openings for steam to escape while cooking.

        Cook the Packets: Place the foil packets on the grill or in the oven. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the potatoes are tender. If cooking on a grill, make sure to flip the packets halfway through for even cooking.

          Serve: Carefully open the foil packets (beware of hot steam) and transfer the contents to plates. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
