How to Make Surf’n Turf Foil Packs

For this simple homemade recipe, first, prepare four 12-inch long aluminum foil rectangles. Next, divide steak, shrimp, corn, tomato wedges, red onion slices, lime wedges, and garlic on each piece of foil. Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, fresh thyme leaves, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and drizzle olive oil on top. Wrap all ingredients in foil and roll up the edges to seal. Heat the grill to high and grill for 8 to 10 minutes per side. Serve immediately with freshly chopped parsley on top and lime wedges.

Cooking Tips

For the best result, please follow my tips:

To make sure the steak is cooked evenly, ensure all cut pieces are the same size. You can always open the foil to check the cooking status. The dish is ready to serve once the shrimp become pink and the steak is cooked to your desired taste. Be careful with the steam when you open the foil to check the doneness. Sprinkle more Old Bay seasoning on the final dish if desired.
