Fancy and foil need not be mutually exclusive—this sea-inspired, coal-fired packet is just as sapid as froufrou fish house fare, albeit with more aluminum and fewer white tablecloths. Seafood is particularly well suited to steam cooking and takes less time than poultry or red meat.
Ingredients
1 serving
3 small red potatoes, quartered
1/8 onion, diced
1/2 ear of corn, kernels removed
1/2 ear of corn, cut into three rounds
5 raw unpeeled extra-jumbo shrimp
8 (1/2-inch) rounds kielbasa, cut diagonally
1/4 cup lager-style beer
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
Layer ingredients in foil packets in the order listed, season with salt and pepper to taste, bake in the embers for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with a green salad, a loaf of fresh sourdough, and crisp Sancerre (or a bucket of iced Corona).
