Ingredients

18 pieces corn on the cob ((6 full cobs cut in half or in thirds))
4 red potatoes ( washed and cubed)
25 uncooked shrimp ( peeled or not, it's up to you)
1 pound smoked sausage ( cut into chunks)
1/2 cup melted butter ( or olive oil, to taste)
1/2 cup chicken broth ( you may not need that much)
1 Tbsp Cajun/Creole seasoning ( we like to use Tony Chachere's brand, to taste)
salt and pepper ( to taste)
Italian sausage
chicken ((cut in bite size pieces))
bell peppers
mushrooms
red onions
celery
carrots

Steps:

Heat grill to 400-degrees. You can do this in your oven at the same temperature. Bring all the ingredients to your work area.
Evenly distribute corn, potatoes, shrimp, and sausage between 4 heavy-duty foil sheets (approximately 12x18 inches each). Drizzle melted butter and about 2 tablespoons chicken broth over each foil packet. Season evenly and generously, to taste, with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Tightly seal foil packets by folding up the sides over the contents and tightly folding up the ends over the seam.
Grill 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are tender, flipping once half-way through
Serve immediately. (Be careful the steam is HOT)

SPICY CAJUN SHRIMP AND SAUSAGES

Spicy Cajun Shrimp and Sausages image

Delicious over rice. The original recipe ingredients are for 1 tablespoon Cajun or Creole seasoning - this seemed like a lot for us, so adjust per your taste. The original recipe also used Creole mustard and I used Dijon mustard (reducing the amount that was called for). Recipe source: Bon Appetit (February 2007)

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
Use fresh ingredients: Fresh shrimp and sausage will give your hobo pouches the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, you can use frozen shrimp that has been thawed and deveined.
Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and chewy.
Use a variety of vegetables: You can use any vegetables you like in your hobo pouches. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and mushrooms.
Season your hobo pouches well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of seasonings in your hobo pouches. Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
Wrap your hobo pouches tightly: Make sure you wrap your hobo pouches tightly so that the juices don't leak out. You can use aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Cook your hobo pouches over medium heat: Cook your hobo pouches over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
Let your hobo pouches rest before serving: Let your hobo pouches rest for a few minutes before serving so that the juices can redistribute.

Cajun shrimp sausage hobo pouches are a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. They are also a great way to use up leftover shrimp and sausage.
