The simplicity of this recipe should appeal to just about everybody. All of the ingredients are placed into hobo packets (foil-sealed packets). It’s an all-in-one dinner, with your protein, carb side and veggie, and it’s all done on the grill. You kind of get a little bit of everything with this meal. It’s delicious!
Ingredients needed:
heavy duty foil shrimp cod red potatoes corn on the cob butter dill lemon garlic, salt/pepper
How to make Grilled New England Seafood Foil Packets:
On a big square of foil, you’ll simply layer potato, cod, shrimp, salt and pepper and corn on the cob on the side. A dollop of butter/dill/garlic is then placed on top with a couple of lemon slices. Then you’ll wrap up the packets and seal them tightly.
They will grill for 12 to 14 minutes, and if you move them around a bit while grilling then that will ensure that they are all cooked evenly.
When you open up the foil packets, your New England seafood will be all cooked and ready to eat. The potatoes and corn will be tender. And that garlic-dill butter and the lemon slices will have properly imparted their flavors onto everything in the packet.
If you’re feeling lazy (or rustic), you can simply serve the packets on a plate and let everyone open up their own packet and eat from there.
Alternately, you can move the contents of the Grilled New England Seafood Foil Packets meal to a plate and add a little salad or some steamed green beans to make it an even more complete meal. I suggest you serve French bread because there will be some juices from the packet that will be good for soaking up the bread. This is a nice, light summer dish… nothing fancy… no amazing sauce or anything like that… just good food with a light buttery-dill flavor. Enjoy!
