Shrimp Scampi Foil Packets
Report
Shrimp Scampi Foil Packets consist of peeled, deveined shrimp combined with butter, white wine, garlic, fresh rosemary and thyme, lemon juice and zest, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. The mixture is sealed in foil packets and grilled until just cooked, yielding tender, flavorful shrimp infused with herbal and citrus notes.
Description
This recipe blends shrimp with aromatic ingredients including minced garlic, fresh herbs, lemon juice and zest, and a bit of crushed red pepper for mild heat, all coated in melted butter and white wine to keep the shrimp moist and flavorful. Wrapping the shrimp in foil packets locks in the steam and juices, resulting in tender seafood with bright, herby flavors.
Cooking over high heat on a grill for about 10-12 minutes ensures the shrimp are cooked through without drying out. Serving the packets immediately, optionally garnished with chopped parsley, maintains freshness and allows diners to enjoy the flavorful steam released when opened.
