Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ½ Pound sirloin steak cut into bite size pieces
- 24 shrimp Large uncooked, thawed, deveined and tail-on
- 2 Teaspoons celery salt
- 1 Teaspoon celery seeds
- 1 Teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 Teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ Teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ Teaspoon paprika
- 1 Tablespoon dry parsley
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 8 Cobs corn Small, fresh or thawed
- 1 Cup red onion sliced
- 4 lime wedges

Instructions
- Preheat the BBQ for direct heat around 400 to 425 degrees F. If cooking on a campfire, get your fire going.
- Cut aluminum foil into 4 squares (approx 14 inches). Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the sirloin steak and shrimp.
- Sprinkle the celery salt, celery seeds, dry mustard, ground cumin, nutmeg, and paprika on top. Toss until the steak and shrimps are coated with the seasonings.
- For each foil pack, pour half a tablespoon of oil, add a quarter of the meat/shrimp mixture, 2 mini corn cobs, and ¼ cup of sliced red onion on top.
- Close the foil pack tightly.
- Place the foil pack on the BBQ grill and cook for 13 to 15 minutes. Rotate the foil pack around halfway through the cooking time.
- Once the shrimps are pink and the steak has reached the desired doneness, serve with a sprinkle of parsley and a lime wedge.
Notes
Cooking times: This recipe assumes you are OK with rare to medium-rare steak. If you prefer medium or well done meat, let the foil packs cook for 5 minutes before opening each foil packet and adding the shrimp on top (otherwise the shrimp will have dried out by the time the steak's at your desired doneness).
Shrimp prep: You can use fresh raw shrimp or thawed shrimp, as you prefer. Choose large ones because little ones overcook too fast. Don't add the shrimp until they're completely thawed and drained on paper towels.
No grill or campfire? If you want to cook the foil packs in the oven, they will take about 15 minutes at 425 degrees F, making them an attractive quick dinner option.
