Grilled Shrimp Foil

Nobody loves to spend hours in the kitchen cooking and scrubbing dishes. This easy foil packet recipe has all the flavors of a traditional shrimp boil; shrimp, spicy sausage, corn and potatoes… but takes half the time, and zero clean-up! Save some more time by making the recipe ahead of time. I can smell it now… and it smells like a beach BBQ dinner!
