Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus (trimmed and cut in 2 inch pieces)
- 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons butter (cut in to 8 small pieces)
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic (grated)
- salt and pepper (to taste )
Instructions
- Pre-heat grill over high heat. Tear out 8 12×12 pieces of tin foil. Place two pieces on top of one another, staggering a bit to create a little more space. Repeat three more times to create four foil sections which we will stuff and fold.
- Divide the shrimp and asparagus evenly between the four foil sections and place in the center. Top each with a little bit of the garlic, butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
- To create the foil pouch, begin by folding the bottom up and over the top. Working from left to right, carefully fold over the foil until the pouch is fully enclosed and tight. Repeat with the three other pouches.
- Place shrimp and asparagus foil pouches on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes or until shrimp is bright pink and asparagus tender. Serve immediately.
