Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ears fresh corn or 4 small pieces thawed frozen corn on the cob, cut into 1-inch-thick pieces
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp (no need to thaw if using frozen)
1 lemon, zest grated, cut into wedges
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium. Microwave the potatoes until softened but not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Let cool a few minutes, then dice.
  • Put 4 tablespoons butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Add the potatoes, corn, garlic and Old Bay and toss well; season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Tear off four 18-inch-long sheets of foil. Divide the vegetables among the foil sheets, piling them in the middle. Add the shrimp to the same bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper; toss well. Add the shrimp to the vegetable piles.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons wine over each pile of vegetables and shrimp. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into 4 pieces and add a piece to each pile. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice; fold in the sides to form a packet.
  • Grill the foil packets until the potatoes are tender and the shrimp is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and let stand 5 minutes. Carefully open the packets and sprinkle with the parsley; serve with the lemon wedges.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs large shrimp
1/2 cup salted butter
1 bunch about 2 cups chopped flat leaf parsley
2 -3 tablespoons dried or minced onions
4 garlic cloves, chopped
3 lemons
4 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
red pepper flakes, (ground red pepper will work too)
1 large aluminum foil, bag (used for grilling, if not, use regular foil)

Steps:

  • 1. Let the stick of butter soften in a bowl until it is VERY soft.
  • 2. Coarsely chop the parsley and cut into the soft butter.
  • 3. Add garlic, onion, hot sauce, pepper, salt and blend until the parsley seems well incorporated.
  • 4. Juice ONE lemon and cut the other two into slices. Add lemon juice to the mixture and blend.

  • 6. Rinse shrimp thoroughly and leave the shells ON. Add them to the bowl and mix them in until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
  • 7. Put shrimp mix into the oven bag along with the lemon slices.
  • 8. If making a foil packet from sheet foil, be sure to make the foil a double layer. Seal packet of foil bag TIGHTLY and place in the refrigerator a few hours until you are ready to bake. If you are making your own packet, make it large enough to keep the shrimp in no more than two layers inside the packet.
  • 9. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place foil bag into a cookie sheet with edges to catch any leaks.
  • 10. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven, give the foil bag a shake to redistribute the shrimp, flip over and return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
  • 11. After this 30 minutes of baking, remove the foil bag and give it a look. The shrimp should be nice and pink. If not, bake another 10 minutes and check again.

  • Add some flavor: You can add a variety of seasonings to this recipe to taste. Some good options include garlic, lemon, butter, and herbs.
