Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 6 ears of corn, husked and halved
- 2 pounds of red potatoes, halved
- 2 pounds of andouille sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 4 pounds of live lobsters
- 4 pounds of littleneck clams, scrubbed
- 2 pounds of mussels, debearded and scrubbed
- 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 onions, quartered
- 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 lemons, halved
- 1/2 cup of Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup of hot sauce
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat a large outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, toss the corn, potatoes, and andouille sausage with the Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, melted butter, salt, and pepper.
- Divide the seasoned corn, potatoes, and sausage mixture among 6 large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Top each with a lobster, clams, mussels, shrimp, onion, garlic, and a lemon half.
- Fold the foil over the seafood and vegetables to create 6 sealed packets.
- Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook for 45-50 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Be sure to rotate the packets occasionally for even cooking.
- Carefully open the foil packets, being cautious of the hot steam, and transfer the contents to serving platters.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately, with additional hot sauce on the side for those who like it extra spicy.
