- Meat – This recipe is delicious with the tender sirloin steak and shrimp, but you can also make it with chicken.
- Vegetables – Add or substitute vegetables that you prefer. We have added in grape tomatoes, red potatoes and chopped broccoli for added flavor.
- Seasoning – We love the flavor of the Old Bay Seasoning, but you can also add in fresh thyme leaves or seasoning salt.
How to Make Surf and Turf Foil Packs
- Step 1 – Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 450 degrees F).
- Step 2 – Cut 4 large pieces of heavy duty foil into approximately 12X12 inches and spray the foil into non-stick cooking spray.
- Step 3 – Evenly portion out the steak, shrimp, corn, tomatoes, red onions and lemon wedges onto each of the sheets of foil.
- Step 4 – Season each of the ingredients in the packets with the minced garlic, old bay seasoning, thyme, cumin and black pepper. Drizzle the melted butter on top of each packet.
- Step 5 – Then fold up the edges of the foil around the food mixture to create a closed packet.
- Step 6 – Place foil packets on the grill over direct heat. Grill for 15-20 minutes (flipping halfway through the cook time) until cooked through and the steak has an internal temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 7 – Serve immediately topped with fresh parsley, lemon juice and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Foil – When making this recipe, make sure to use heavy duty aluminum foil sheets for best results.
- Cutting Veggies and Steak – We recommend cutting the vegetables in thick slices so they do not get mushy. It also helps to cut in about the same size pieces so they cook evenly.
- Cooking Time – Cooking time will vary as it will depend on the size of your veggies and how well done you want your steak
- Opening Foil Packets – After cooking the foil packets on the grill or in the oven, carefully open the packets. As they will be extremely hot and will release steam.
