Shrimp In Foil Recipes

SHRIMP IN FOIL

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, parsley, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Add shrimp and mix well. Set aside to marinade for 10 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Lay out a large piece of aluminum foil and fold in half. Fold up edges to create a pouch in the middle. Place marinated shrimp in the middle and drizzle with lemon juice. Lightly close pouch.
• Cook on the hot grill until shrimp are pink and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

BAKED SHRIMP IN FOIL

Steps:

• 1. Let the stick of butter soften in a bowl until it is VERY soft.
• 2. Coarsely chop the parsley and cut into the soft butter.
• 3. Add garlic, onion, hot sauce, pepper, salt and blend until the parsley seems well incorporated.
• 4. Juice ONE lemon and cut the other two into slices. Add lemon juice to the mixture and blend.
• 5. Add red pepper flakes to your taste.
• 6. Rinse shrimp thoroughly and leave the shells ON. Add them to the bowl and mix them in until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
• 7. Put shrimp mix into the oven bag along with the lemon slices.
• 8. If making a foil packet from sheet foil, be sure to make the foil a double layer. Seal packet of foil bag TIGHTLY and place in the refrigerator a few hours until you are ready to bake. If you are making your own packet, make it large enough to keep the shrimp in no more than two layers inside the packet.
• 9. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place foil bag into a cookie sheet with edges to catch any leaks.
• 10. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven, give the foil bag a shake to redistribute the shrimp, flip over and return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
• 11. After this 30 minutes of baking, remove the foil bag and give it a look. The shrimp should be nice and pink. If not, bake another 10 minutes and check again.
• 12. Cut open the bag with a knife and dump into a bowl to serve.
• 13. Add a nice salad and enjoy!
• 14. We make two pounds to have some leftover shrimp to make into our Low-Carb Aioli Shrimp Salad the next day!

FOIL-PACKET SHRIMP BOIL

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Microwave the potatoes until softened but not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Let cool a few minutes, then dice.
• Put 4 tablespoons butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Add the potatoes, corn, garlic and Old Bay and toss well; season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Tear off four 18-inch-long sheets of foil. Divide the vegetables among the foil sheets, piling them in the middle. Add the shrimp to the same bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper; toss well. Add the shrimp to the vegetable piles.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons wine over each pile of vegetables and shrimp. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into 4 pieces and add a piece to each pile. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice; fold in the sides to form a packet.
• Grill the foil packets until the potatoes are tender and the shrimp is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and let stand 5 minutes. Carefully open the packets and sprinkle with the parsley; serve with the lemon wedges.
