- 16 oz raw shrimp peeled & tails removed
- 10 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lemon juiced
- 5 tablespoons salted butter
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley chopped
- salt & pepper to taste
Preheat an open fire for about two hours to achieve hot coals (or preheat a grill to the highest temperature). Peel and devein the shrimp. Remove all tails. Create a square 10x10 sheet of foil.
Arrange the shrimp on the foil in the center, spreading to an equal layer. Toss in the cloves of garlic, parsley, butter, and salt and pepper. Then wrap the shrimp tightly in foil.
Place the foil packet directly in the coals or onto a preheated grill. Flip after about five to ten minutes. Cook for another five minutes, or until the shrimp have all turned pink and have cooked through.
Serve alongside chicken packets, sm'nanas and other campfire delicacies. Enjoy!
