Shrimp Scampi Foil Packets
Description
Shrimp Scampi Foil Packets combine peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp with grated and sliced garlic, kosher salt, and extra virgin olive oil in a marinade chilled for up to an hour. Each foil packet holds about 10 shrimp topped with additional garlic, a splash of dry white wine, fresh lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and melted unsalted butter. The foil is folded to trap steam and heat, allowing the shrimp to cook gently over high heat on the grill or in a 425°F oven.
This method produces shrimp that are tender and infused with garlicky, buttery flavors balanced by citrus brightness and subtle spicy hints. Finishing with chopped parsley adds herbal freshness. The packets keep the shrimp moist and flavorful without fuss.
These foil packets are great for serving straight from the foil on a plate, complemented by lemon wedges to squeeze over. Offering crusty whole wheat bread is a simple addition for soaking up the flavorful juices. The recipe serves about four and requires minimal prep and cleanup, making it practical for a weeknight or casual cookout.

- Place 10 shrimp on the center of each foil sheet. Top each with remaining garlic slices, 1 tablespoon wine, lemon juice, pinch red pepper flakes and 1/2 tablespoon melted butter over each.
- Bring up the long sides of the foil, so the ends meet over the food. Double fold the ends, leaving room for heat to circulate inside. Double fold the two short ends to seal the packet
- Grill over high heat, 8 minutes. Use gloves or tongs to remove and carefully open. Top with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
- (To bake in the oven, preheat oven to 425F and cook about 10 minutes.)
