A simple, flavorful shrimp recipe cooked in foil packs with garlic butter, perfect for camping or quick dinners. Juicy shrimp steamed in foil with a rich garlic butter sauce for an easy, mess-free meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced fresh
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil sheets

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: peel and devein shrimp if needed, mince garlic, chop parsley, and squeeze lemon juice.
  2. Make the garlic butter sauce by mixing softened butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Tear two large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches each). Place half the shrimp in the center of each sheet.
  4. Evenly divide the garlic butter mixture over the shrimp and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
  5. Fold the foil over the shrimp to create sealed packets, folding edges tightly to trap steam.
  6. Cook the foil packs on hot coals, grill grates, or in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-15 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  7. Carefully open the foil packs and serve immediately with warm crusty bread or steamed rice.

Notes

Use fresh large shrimp for best texture. Avoid overcooking to prevent rubbery shrimp. Softened butter blends better with garlic and lemon juice. Seal foil tightly to trap steam and juices. Can be cooked in oven at 400°F if no grill available. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan margarine or coconut oil. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently.
