PREPARATION

  1. Stir together butter, shallot, parsley, dill, lemon zest, (optional: 2 tbsp of bacon drippings) and 1 tablespoon of the seafood seasoning in a medium bowl until well blended.

  2. Combine chopped potatoes and water in a medium-size microwavable bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH until tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. Preheat a grill to medium (400°F to 450°F). Cut 12 (12-inch) square pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place 6 squares of the foil in a single layer on work surface.

  4. Divide potato wedges and corn evenly among foil sheets. Top each with 6 shrimp and chopped bacon, and lemon wedges. Dollop each with about 1/4 cup butter/bacon fat mixture. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon of seafood seasoning.

  5. Top each with 1 foil square, and crimp all sides to seal tightly.

  6. Grill packets, covered, until shrimp are done, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating packets on grill halfway through cooking time.

  7. Remove packets from the grill and serve!
