Notes
Recipe Tips
- Use Raw Shrimp - When making this recipe, we recommend using raw shrimp. You can use the pre-cooked shrimp but the shrimp could get overcooked in the foil packets.
- Cook in the Oven - If you prefer, you can place the shrimp in the oven.
- Use Fresh Lemon - Squeezing fresh lemon wedges is best when adding in your seasoning.
Variations Ideas
- Grilled Shrimp Skewers - Instead of putting shrimp in a foil pack, place shrimp on wooden skewers. Drizzle with butter and seasoning. Grill about 5 minutes on each side.
- Add Vegetables - Toss in cherry tomatoes, red potatoes, broccoli, and squash for a complete meal. Add your seasoning and this shrimp pack turns into an amazing dish.
- Change the Seasoning - If you want to add some spice to your recipe, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes. You can even use Cajun seasoning, old bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, or garlic cloves
- Make Shrimp Tacos - Once you have finished grilling your shrimp, wrap them in a tortilla topped with your favorite tacos.
- Olive Oil and Lemon Juice - Toss the shrimp with Olive oil and fresh Lemon Juice and cook on the stovetop.
- Grilled Shrimp Salad - Top your favorite salad with grilled shrimp. This a nice change from the normal grilled chicken.
- Shrimp Scampi - Quickly grill your shrimp and add it to your favorite scampi sauce. Toss with some angel hair pasta for an amazing meal.
- Change Meat - You can even make a Caprese Chicken Foil Pack for a delicious variation. You can even make Sausage Foil Pack with Andouille Sausages.
