Healthy Baked Shrimp Boil Packets

Healthy Baked Shrimp Boil Packets - corn on the cob, potatoes, shrimp, and sausage all baked together in a foil packet for super easy cleanup!

I saw this recipe floating around for baked shrimp boil packets about a couple of years ago, and I didn't know why I waited this long to try it? My readers loved the oven baked sausage and potato recipe and this recipe has a  somewhat similar baking method. Just think of shrimp and corn on the cob added to the potatoes and sausage. 🙂

The original recipe for baked shrimp boil packets calls for a lot of butter. You can make this super healthy by switching the butter for spray butter and use as much as you like. I'm not certain how many sprays you can have to reach a certain amount of calories but I believe it's 15 sprays for only 12 calories. Depends on which brand you use.  Everything gets baked in aluminum foil and all the butter leftovers just end up at the bottom of the foil. This equals yummy sauce drippings that can soak up your corn, sausage, potatoes, or shrimp. Mmmm... Also, use a low-fat sausage or chicken sausage to keep this dish low cal.

This recipe can also be made on the grill. See recipe instructions for both baking and grilling. Super easy both ways no matter which method you decide to do. You know me, I like easy recipes!
