- 4 tbsp salted butter melted
- 3 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 lbs shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 lb crawfish

- 2 ears of corn sliced into 2 inch disks
- 2 cups baby potatoes halved
- 4 grilling foil cut into 12X12" squares
Optional
- 3 tbsp parsley finely chopped

Place the grill on medium high (at least 350 degrees). Add the melted butter, Cajun seasoning, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
Add the shrimp, crawfish, sausage, corn, and baby potatoes to a bowl, then drizzle the melted butter mixture over it. Toss everything together with a large spoon until everything is well coated.
Cut the grilling foil into 4 12X12" squares. Place 2 cups of the shrimp mixture in the center of the grilling foil.
Grab two parallel edges of the foil and clamp it to seal the edges. Grad the unsealed edges and roll them until it meets the shrimp mixture in the center. Do this to the other unsealed edge.
Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for 15 minutes. Flip the packets and continue cooking for 7 more minutes. Remove the packets from the grill, then uncover and top with parsley and wedges of lemon. Mangia!
