April Meal Prep: Sausage & Shrimp Boil

 

It took awhile for us to fix this for dinner but we had it the other night.  I fixed it in the oven rather than on a grill.  I'll probably substitute chicken for the shrimp as my husband doesn't care for shrimp.  That would be the only change I would make.

For a freezer meal, we used frozen corn kernels not corn on the cob.  You can also use frozen cut green beans. 

Here are the ingredients you would need:

• 
  1 lb (21-25 count) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 (14 oz) package smoked sausage ring, sliced
• 12 oz fresh green beans, cut in half
• 1 package ONE Pan Grilled Sausage & Shrimp Boil Mix 
• 3 ears fresh corn on the cob, husks and silks removed
• 1/4 c butter, thinly sliced

Other items needed:

• 1 (13x9-inch) aluminum foil disposable pan
• Aluminum foil
• Gallon Freezer bag

Directions:

1.  If putting it in the freezer for later, mix the meat & vegetables with the seasonings in a gallon-freezer bag.  Otherwise,

2.  Prepare grill to medium heat or preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  In foil pan, combine first 3 ingredients with Garlic Garlic Seasoning, Onion Onion Seasoning, and Garlic Pepper Seasoning.

3.  Cut kernels off corn and add to pan; toss to combine.  Top with butter slices.

4.  Place pan on grill or in oven.  Grill or bake, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is opaque in color and reaches 145 degrees F on an instant-read food thermometer, about 25 minutes.
