Ingredients
  

  • 4 link pack Aidells Cajun Style Andouille Sausage Sliced
  • 2 Lemons Sliced
  • 4 pack Sweet Corn on the Cob Cut into halves or thirds
  • 1.5 lb bag Gemstone Medley Baby potatoes Halved or quartered
  • 32 oz pack Sam's Choice Frozen Mussels
  • Wild snow crab Optional
  • Fresh Parsley or Cilantro
  • 1 bag Large Frozen Shrimp Fresh works great too. You can use fully frozen uncooked and they steam really quickly.
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter Cut into tablespoon tabs
  • Sea Salt
  • Old Bay Seasoning
  • Garlic

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°
    Spread heavy aluminum foil sheets about 15-16" wide for each person. If you are using regular foil, I like to double mine so no juices escape.
    Add all ingredients except the cilantro or parsley. I like to halve or quarter the potatoes to ensure they cook through. Top with a tab of butter (about a tablespoon) and some fresh garlic, minced. Sprinkle with Old Bay to your liking. Spread an additional sheet of foil over the top and roll up the top and bottom, and then the sides so the packet it sealed up.
    Bake packets for 25-30 minutes. Open carefully by using a sharp knife to slice down the center of the top piece of foil. It will be very steamy so do this with care. Sprinkle fresh cinantro or parsley on top and add more lemon slices if desired.
    This dinner is best enjoyed hot and right out of the oven.
    If you would like to create a more bold and spicy packets, mix ingredients in a large bowl together with melted butter, Old Bay, seafood seasoning, garlic and sea salt. Toss together and then add to packets so everything is covered evenly with seasoning.
    If grilling the packets, grill at 400° for about 20 minutes turning once, halfway through.
