Shrimp Scampi Foil Packs
Ingredients
½ Cup salted butter, melted
3 Tablespoons chicken broth, substitute with dry white wine or vegetable broth
2 Tablespoons dried parsley
1 Tablespoon lemon juice, about ½ of a lemon
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1 Teaspoon garlic powder
1 Teaspoon lemon pepper
⅛ Teaspoon salt, if using unsalted butter, you can increase to ¼ teaspoon
¼ Teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 Pound jumbo shrimp, fresh or thawed
2 Teaspoons lemon zest, optional
Directions
Preheat your grill to 350 degrees F.
Cut 4 pieces of aluminum foil into 12-inch squares.
Mix in a bowl the butter, chicken broth, parsley, lemon juice, minced garlic, garlic powder, lemon pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes, until all ingredients are combined.
*NOTE* Get the butter ready at home before going to the camping site. Mix in a small mason jar.
Place the shrimp on a large baking sheet or plate. If you are at a camping site, place them in a Ziplock bag.
Pour the butter mixture onto the shrimp. The shrimp are cold so the butter will congeal a bit. Don’t worry. When you cook them on the grill it will melt and the flavor will infuse in the shrimp.
Sprinkle the lemon zest on the shrimp.
Place 6 shrimps on a pre-cut foil square. Close into a pocket.
Place the filled foil packets in the preheated grill or over the grill on the fire.
Cook for 8 to 10 minutes for peeled, skinless jumbo shrimp (or adjust as necessary).
