- Mound the shrimp and sausage mixture in the center of each foil piece, dividing it evenly between the 6.
- Mound the vegetable mixture in center of foil, dividing it evenly between the 6.
- Bring the long edges to the center, then fold them over each other to make a seam in the center. Bring up the sides. Fold in the edges to seal. Avoid wrapping too tight to allow air circulation
- To grill the packets, preheat an outdoor grill to medium high 400°. To bake, preheat the oven to 400°.
- Cook the packets on a preheated grill over medium-high heat for 8 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 6 minutes on the second side, until the shrimp is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- To bake, place foil packs on a lined large baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, flip and bake another 6 minutes.
- While packets are cooking, melt remaining 8 Tbsp butter in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Continue stirring over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until color changes from pale yellow to a golden amber.
- Carefully remove shrimp foil packets from the grill or oven. Open foil packs and drizzle with melted butter. Top with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
