Grilled Shrimp Boil (in foil packets) is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Fish Friday Foodies. We group monthly to post fish and seafood recipes on a common topic. This month we are sharing recipes  for seafood cooked in foil packets.

I decided to do a take on a seafood boil. This is achieved by cooking the shrimp boil in a foil packet instead of a boiling bag.

Since the contents have different cooking time some of it is par-cooked ahead of time. Such as boiling the corn and  potatoes. And cooking the onion and sausage.

Besides, you want that sausage to be browned for best flavor.
