Instructions

Preheat oven or grill. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you prefer grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat to get ready for cooking the foil packs.
Prepare foil sheets. Cut four large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12-by-18 inches, sufficient to hold the seafood and vegetables securely.
Combine ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, sliced smoked sausage, diced potatoes, and corn pieces to create the base of your foil packs.
Season and coat. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, then sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure even coating and seasoning.
Assemble foil packets. Divide the seasoned mixture evenly among the four foil sheets, placing the ingredients in the center of each.
Seal the packets. Bring the long sides of the foil up and fold over the ingredients, then fold in the short sides tightly. Make sure the packets are well-sealed to trap heat and steam during cooking.
Cook the packets. Place the foil packs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and shrimp are thoroughly cooked. Alternatively, grill the foil packets over indirect heat for about 20-25 minutes.
Serve. Carefully open the hot foil packets, watching for steam. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing and leakage during cooking.
You can customize the vegetables by adding bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and color.
If grilling, make sure the packets are tightly sealed to retain moisture and avoid flare-ups.
Check the potatoes by piercing with a fork to ensure they are tender before serving.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes along with the seasoning.
