Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1/2 lb. sirloin steak, cut into 1” cubes
- 1/2 lb. shrimp, cleaned and deveined
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 2 ears corn, each cut crosswise into 4 pieces
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 1 small red onion, cut into thick slices
- 1 lime, sliced into wedges
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Seasonings & Garnish
- 1 Tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 Tbsp. freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for garnish
- Drizzle of oil (about 1-2 Tbsp.)
Instructions
- Prepare the Grill and Foil: Heat your grill to high temperature. Meanwhile, cut four sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long, to create individual foil packs.
- Assemble Ingredients in Foil Packs: Evenly divide the sirloin steak cubes, shrimp, corn pieces, grape tomatoes, red onion slices, lime wedges, and thinly sliced garlic among the four foil sheets. Drizzle each pack with oil and season generously with Old Bay seasoning, fresh thyme leaves, ground cumin, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Seal the Foil Packs: Fold each foil sheet crosswise over the ingredients to fully cover the food. Then tightly roll and seal the top and bottom edges to create secure packets, ensuring no juices escape during grilling.
- Grill the Packs: Place the sealed foil packs on the hot grill. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side, flipping carefully halfway through. Continue grilling until the shrimp are fully cooked and opaque, and the steak reaches your preferred doneness.
- Garnish and Serve: Carefully open the foil packs to avoid steam burns. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the cooked contents and serve the foil packs with additional lime wedges for squeezing.
Notes
- Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing during grilling.
- Adjust cooking times depending on shrimp size and desired steak doneness.
- For added flavor, marinate the steak and shrimp in olive oil with herbs and spices for 30 minutes before assembling.
- Serve with crusty bread or a light salad to complete the meal.
- Handle foil packs with tongs and oven mitts when flipping on the grill for safety.
