Recipe type: Entree
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1.5 lb fresh jumbo shrimp (you can remove the shells or leave them on)
  • 1 lb fresh mussels
  • 1.5 lb chicken sausage links, cut into ½" pieces
  • 4 pieces fresh corn, halved
  • 8 small red potatoes, cut in half
  • Old Bay® Seasoning
  • 4 capfuls olive oil, separated
  • 4 tbsp beer (or wine or chicken broth)
  • 4 whole jalapeños
  • 1 large lemon, cut into 8 wedges
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  2. On a large piece of tinfoil, layer ¼ of the corn, potatoes, shrimp, mussels, sausage, jalapeño, and lemon wedges.
  3. Sprinkle with 1 capful of olive oil.
  4. Generously cover with Old Bay® Seasoning.
  5. Pull the tinfoil up lengthwise to close the top of the packet, folding down to close completely, then close one of the sides.
  6. Tilt the packet and pour in 1 tablespoon of beer, then close that side completely.
  7. Place in a glass baking dish, and repeat for the other 3 packets.
  8. Bake packets in oven for 30 minutes; depending on oven variation, it may take longer so just check potatoes for doneness.
  9. Carefully open packets (the steam will be HOT), sprinkle with lemon juice if desired, and serve right out of the foil packet for easy cleanup.
Notes
If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen, but you'll need to preboil before assembling the packets.
