Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons butter or ghee
  • 3 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 pinch sea salt to taste

Equipment

  • Peeler
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to high heat.
  2. Peel and devein your raw shrimp if they aren’t already. Place the shrimp in the center of a long sheet of foil. Add the butter, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, dried parsley, and red pepper flakes (if you’re okay with some heat).
  3. Fold the foil into a packet and place on the preheated grill. Replace the cover and grill for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip the foil packet and continue grilling until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and place on a baking sheet or cutting board. When cool enough to handle, open the foil packet and give everything a big stir. Serve shrimp with choice of side dishes or cocktail sauce.

Notes

When storing leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
