Shrimp Foil Pack Recipe
Every Summer I make shrimp foil packs of some sort. Two years ago it was Shrimp Boil Foil Packs. Then last year I made Garlic Lemon Butter Shrimp and Asparagus Foil Packs, and Cilantro Lime Shrimp and Cauliflower Rice Foil Packs. Now this year we are here loading all the veggies in with these Shrimp and Veggie Foil Packs!
Ingredients Needed for Grilled Shrimp Foil Packs
- Fresh veggies including zucchini, squash, cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, fresh corn from the cob, garlic and parsley
- Spices and fresh herbs, including paprika, celery seed, thyme, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, salt and black pepper
- Shrimp (I like Jumbo Shrimp)
- Olive oil
- Lemon wedges
- Red wine vinegar if you like tangy flavor
- You’ll also need heavy duty aluminum foil
How to Make Shrimp and Veggie Foil Packs
You’ll start by preheating your grill over medium-high heat (it should come to about 425). Meanwhile cut 8 sheets of foil into pieces measuring 12 by 15-inches.
Then, you’ll cut up the veggies (keep tomatoes whole) and peel the shrimp.

Add the shrimp and veggies to a large mixing bowl, then drizzle with olive oil. Next, sprinkle in garlic and spices (including salt and pepper). Then, toss everything together well to create a shrimp marinade.
Divide mixture among double lined foil sheets (lay each sheet per packet in the opposite direction). I like to lay the mixture out in a rectangular shape. Then, wrap packets sealing edges well.
Place on preheated grill. Grill about 12 – 14 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling, until shrimp have cooked through. Open carefully and serve warm, garnished with parsley and lemon wedges for spritzing.
Quality Produce is a Must
Everything I used in these foil packs I bought at Walmart. They have great quality foods and fresh, locally-grown produce that I can count on. I’ve shopped Walmart for a long time because they consistently have deliciously fresh fruit and vegetables that I love to cook with.
Also, I’m always stocking up on lots of fresh fruits and veggies. They’re a go-to snack for me and my kids. I love to make “fruit plates” where I just add a rainbow of colorful fruits on a plate. My kids polish them off in no time!
I love that Walmart sells a variety of locally grown produce, and they re-stock their produce at a least once a day, so I know it’s very fresh. And did you know if you aren’t 100% satisfied with the produce you purchased from Walmart they’ll give you a full refund? Sounds like they’re pretty confident in the produce they’re offering. It really is delicious and it made these Shrimp Packs amazingly tasty and hearty!
