Shrimp Scampi Foil Packs
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
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).
