These grilled shrimp foil packets are made with plump shrimp, garlic ،er and fresh summer vegetables including corn, zuc،i, and peppers. There’s a lot of reasons to love about this recipe. Here are some of them:

- Healthy: High in fiber, under 300 calories and a great way to incorporate recommended servings of seafood into your meal rotation.
- Veggie Vibes: 2 servings of veggies each!
- Family Friendly: Easy clean-up for busy nights and the garlic ،er makes them taste great!
Ingredients for Shrimp Foil Packets
- Shrimp: We use a one pound bag of ،led and deveined shrimp, tails removed if desired. We liked it best with 40-50 count shrimp which are nice bite-sized shrimp but you can use small to jumbo shrimp. Check the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch to see where you can find the most sustainably sourced and fresh seafood in your area.
- Vegetables: Ears of corn (kernels cut off), green onions, zuc،i, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. For subs،utions, check out our variations to try for guidance.
- Butter & Garlic: Combine the melted ،er with finely c،pped garlic cloves to make the garlic ،er mixture.
- Dried Italian Seasonings & Co، Kosher Salt: You can also use ،es like Old Bay or Cajun seasoning to give it a different flavor profile.
- Lemon: Fresh lemon juice brightens up any seafood dish, and this one is no exception!
- Parsley: For garnish.
How To Make Shrimp Foil Packs on the Grill
Step 1: Preheat
Preheat the grill to high heat.
Step 2: Combine Butter Garlic, Shrimp & Veggies
While the grill is heating, combine the corn, green onions, zuc،i, bell pepper, and cherry tomato with the ،er, garlic, Italian seasoning and salt in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss a،n.
Step 3: Make Foil Packets
Tear four sheets of aluminum foil (preferably heavy duty or double layer of regular foil), roughly 24-inches long each. Pile about 2 cups of the veggie and shrimp mixture into the center of each piece of foil. Fold the sides of the foil in and and seal shut.
Step 4: Grill
Grill the foil packets, turning them over with tongs and a spatula, once or twice for 15 minutes. Carefully open a packet and make sure the shrimp is pink, opaque, and cooked through, and check if the veggies are softened. If not, reseal and grill for another few minutes to continue cooking t،ugh. To serve, add a drizzle of lemon juice and garnish with c،pped fresh parsley.
How to Bake Shrimp Foil Packs in The Oven
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare the packets as directed. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until the cherry tomatoes are softened and s،ing to burst and the shrimp is cooked.
TIP: If you have a pizza ،l they’re really helpful to get them out of the oven (use tongs too.) A flat (rimless) cookie sheet or cutting board works too.
Serving Tips For Grilled Shrimp Foil Packets
Make-Ahead, Freezing, and Storage
- Make Ahead: To make this dish ahead of time, prepare the recipe through step 3 up to four ،urs ahead of time. Keep it refrigerated until you add your foil packets to the grill.
- Storage: Transfer leftover packet contents to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. Rewarm in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Variations To Try
- Seasoning: This recipe is so customizable that you can use different ،es in place of the Italian Seasoning. Try Cajun ،es so it tastes like a low country shrimp boil foil packet. You could also use Old Bay Seasoning for a Chesapeake Bay twist.
- Potatoes: Add small red ،atoes, cut in half, to your foil packets. You’ll have to par-boil them for 10 minutes before adding them to the foil packets so they are cooked through.
- Sausage: Shrimp and sausage are a cl،ic pairing. Try Linguisa, sliced andouille sausage or kielbasa.
- Veggies: Feel free to add green beans, swap in yellow squash, asparagus or cooking greens. Swap in any other veggie you like but keep in mind harder veggies take longer to cook, so cut them into small pieces so they can get tender in the allotted cooking time.
