Equipment

  • 1 grill

Ingredients

  • 12 oz shrimp fresh or frozen
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 lemon wedge, juiced

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine shrimp, oil, minced garlic and salt. Mix well to evenly coat shrimp. Using a piece of foil folded in half, place half of the shrimp onto the foil in the center.
  • Pull opposite ends to the center to join and roll down to seal. Tuck the ends up to seal as well. Leave a pocket inside to steam the shrimp. Repeat with the remaining shrimp so you have 2 foil packets.
  • Heat grill to about 400 F. Place packets onto the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes or until shrimp is pink and no longer frozen.
  • Open packets and season with ground black pepper and red pepper flakes if desired for a bit of heat. Serve topped with chopped fresh parsley and fresh lemon wedges
