Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, toss the prawns with 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning. Set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, baby potatoes, sausage, lemon, and garlic. Add the seasoned prawns to the bowl. Add 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon parsley, and the remaining tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning. Toss everything together until evenly coated, then let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- You can cook this shrimp boil on either a grill pan or an outdoor barbecue grill.
Option 1: Cook on a barbecue grill:
- Brush the grill grates with olive oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the corn, potatoes, shrimp, sausage, and lemon directly on the grill. Grill for a few minutes per side, just until lightly charred and distinct grill marks appear.
- Transfer the grilled items to a large disposable aluminum pan. Add the remaining melted butter and toss to coat. Cover tightly with foil, sealing the edges. Alternatively, divide the grilled ingredients onto four 12-inch sheets of aluminum foil. Spoon the remaining butter over each portion. Fold the foil over to form packets, sealing the edges by rolling them tightly.
- Place the aluminum pan or foil packets back on the grill. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, until everything is cooked through and heated.
Option 2: Cook on a grill pan:
- Brush a grill pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Arrange the items (corn, potatoes, shrimp, sausage, and lemon) in a single layer and lightly brush the tops with some of the remaining melted butter.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, or until charred grill marks appear. Lower the heat to medium. Then, carefully flip everything, add 1 cup of water to the pan, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the shrimp are cooked through.
- Remove from grill and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and a generous dusting of Old Bay seasoning before serving.
