Creole BBQ Packets

CREOLE BBQ PACKETS

The Stacey’s are leaving North Carolina shortly and I am finding food in my freezer that needs to be eaten. I found sausage, clams, and shrimp and my daughter decided she wanted soup. We decided to make BBQ packets instead. Soup would have been good, if not for the 100* weather happening. BBQing means that the kitchen stays cooler with no oven running. This new recipe will certainly stay on our monthly menu!
