CAJUN SHRIMP IN FOIL

by on with No Comments

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tablespoon Cajun or Creole seasoning
  • 24 1 pound cleaned large shrimp
  • 3 ounces fully cooked Turkey/Chicken Andouille sausage, Applegate, very thinly sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, 8 ounces each, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
  • 1 1/2 cups corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a medium bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat.
  • Place 4 large (10 x 18-inch) pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface.
  • Divide the sausage, zucchini, bell peppers, and corn among the foil pieces, placing the vegetables in the center of each. Top each with shrimp (about 6), sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the parsley and 1 tablespoon of the basil.
  • Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of the wine and about 1/2 tablespoon of the oil. Fold each piece of the foil to form a packet, sealing tightly and leaving a little room inside for air to circulate in the packet. The packets may be refrigerated (or frozen) at this stage.
  • To cook, preheat the oven to 425F. Arrange the packets on a baking sheet and cook until the shrimp is cooked through and the vegetables are crisp-tender, 13 minutes. Open the packets slowly, being careful of the hot steam. Transfer the shrimp, vegetables, and sauce that has accumulated to individual bowls or rimmed plates.

To freeze and heat:

  • Place uncooked packets into sealable plastic bags, keeping them level and upright. (Two packets fit well into a gallon sized bag). Freeze for up to two (2) months. There is no need to thaw before cooking.
  • Remove the frozen packets from the bags and place them on a baking tray in a cold oven set to 425F.
  • Once oven comes to temperature, continue to cook for 35-40 minutes.
