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.

yield 4 serving(s)
prep time 10 Min
cook time 50 Min
method Grill

How To Make low country boil-like grilled foil packets

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