Lemon Garlic Foil Packet Shrimp
Description
Lemon Garlic Foil Packet Shrimp features peeled, deveined raw shrimp cooked on a grill inside a foil packet with butter, minced garlic, lemon zest and juice, dried parsley, sea salt, and optional red pepper flakes. The foil packet traps steam and flavors, gently cooking the shrimp in the melted butter and aromatics.
The shrimp turn pink and firm after 8 to 10 minutes of grilling per side, delivering a tender texture infused with bright lemon and garlic notes balanced by a hint of heat from the red pepper flakes if included. The simplicity of the ingredients maximizes the shrimp’s natural flavor while adding savory richness.
This dish is convenient for outdoor cooking and pairs well with cocktail sauce or your choice of side dishes such as salads, rice, or vegetables. The foil packet allows easy cleanup and preserves juiciness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and de-veined, raw
- 4 Tbsp butter or ghee
- 3 garlic minced, large cloves
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp parsley dried
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1 pinch salt to taste, sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Peel and de-vein your raw shrimp if they aren’t already. Place the shrimp in the center of a long sheet of foil. Add the butter, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, dried parsley, and red pepper flakes (if you’re okay with some heat).
- Fold the foil into a packet and place on the preheated grill. Replace the cover and grill 8 to 10 minutes. Flip the foil packet and continue grilling until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and place on a baking sheet or cutting board. When cool enough to handle, open the foil packet and give everything a big stir. Serve shrimp with choice of side dishes or cocktail sauce.
