Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sticks unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
Coarse salt
3 lemons, 1 halved, 2 cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 1/4 pounds new potatoes, halved if large
4 ears corn, cut into 1-inch pieces
Safflower oil, for brushing
2 pounds jumbo shrimp, shells on, deveined if desired

Steps:

  • Heat butter with garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted. Simmer 1 minute. Stir in Old Bay and season with salt. Squeeze juice of halved lemon into butter mixture (reserve halves). Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
  • Cover potatoes with 2 inches cold water in a large pot; bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons salt, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are just tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 12 minutes. Add corn and squeezed lemon halves; return to a boil, then drain.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush grates with oil. Toss potatoes, corn, shrimp, and sliced lemons with 2 tablespoons butter mixture in a large bowl. Grill, turning occasionally, until shrimp are cooked through and potatoes, lemons, and corn are marked in spots, about 3 minutes for shrimp, 4 to 5 minutes for vegetables and lemons. Transfer to a large bowl; toss with 1/2 cup butter mixture. Serve with remaining butter mixture on the side.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ears fresh corn or 4 small pieces thawed frozen corn on the cob, cut into 1-inch-thick pieces
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp (no need to thaw if using frozen)
1 lemon, zest grated, cut into wedges
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium. Microwave the potatoes until softened but not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Let cool a few minutes, then dice.
  • Put 4 tablespoons butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Add the potatoes, corn, garlic and Old Bay and toss well; season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Tear off four 18-inch-long sheets of foil. Divide the vegetables among the foil sheets, piling them in the middle. Add the shrimp to the same bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper; toss well. Add the shrimp to the vegetable piles.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons wine over each pile of vegetables and shrimp. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into 4 pieces and add a piece to each pile. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice; fold in the sides to form a packet.
  • Grill the foil packets until the potatoes are tender and the shrimp is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and let stand 5 minutes. Carefully open the packets and sprinkle with the parsley; serve with the lemon wedges.
