Grilled Cajun Seafood Boil Recipes

CAJUN BOIL ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Divide potatoes, salmon, shrimp, sausage and corn among four pieces of heavy-duty foil (about 18x12-in. rectangles). Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with seasonings. Squeeze lemon juice over top; place squeezed wedges in packets. Fold foil around mixture, sealing tightly., Grill, covered, over medium heat 12-15 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, shrimp turn pink and potatoes are tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

SHRIMP BOIL ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Cut four 12-inch sheets of aluminum foil. Mix shrimp, potatoes, sausage, and corn together. Add an equal portion to the center of each sheet of foil.
• Fold up the sides of the foil packets. Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1 pat of butter, 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic, salt, and pepper to each packet. Squeeze 1 lemon wedge into each and leave it in the packet. Toss mixture gently to combine. Fold foil over to seal packet fully.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill packets until shrimp is opaque and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

CAJUN SHRIMP BOIL

Steps:

• Fill a very large (24-quart) pot with 8 quarts of water set over high heat. Add seasoning pouches, cayenne, salt, onions and celery. Squeeze lemon juice, and add wedges. Break garlic into cloves, and discard excess skin, then add unpeeled cloves. Cover the pot, and bring to a rolling boil.
• Lay corn on a baking sheet in a single layer, then place in freezer.
• Taste the water after it comes to a boil. It should be very heavily salted and spiced, with a bright orange foam (when standing near the boiling pot causes you to cough, it's spicy enough).
• Add potatoes and sausage to the pot, and let the water return to a boil. Turn off heat, and allow to soak for 10 minutes or until potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Bring the water to a boil, and add shrimp. Cook for 3 minutes, then turn off heat, add corn and allow to soak for 7 minutes. Drain, and serve immediately with rémoulade (preferably on a newspaper-lined table).
