Ingredients

1 lb large Gulf shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb crab legs, cracked
12 oz smoked sausage, sliced
2 ears of corn, cut into thirds
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, sliced
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

Pour vegetable oil onto three paper napkins.
Place the oil-soaked napkins into the grill.
Stack firewood over the napkins and light them.
Let the grill heat up for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the foil packets

Cut four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Divide the shrimp, crab legs, sausage, corn, and potatoes evenly among the foil sheets.
Sprinkle with minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle melted butter over the ingredients.
Top each packet with lemon slices.
Seal each packet tightly to trap the steam.

Step 3: Grill the packets

Place the foil packets directly on the Arteflame flat cooktop.
Position them closer to the center for higher heat and move them outward as needed.
Grill for about 12-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

Step 4: Serve and enjoy

Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Open the packets and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve hot with extra lemon wedges and enjoy!

Tips

Use fresh seafood for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust seasoning levels to suit your preference.
For added depth, grill lemon halves on the flat top before squeezing over the seafood.
Ensure the foil packets are tightly sealed to prevent steam from escaping.
