For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the marinade. Feel free to customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking. Serve with grilled vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and onions for a complete and balanced meal. The foil packets can also be baked in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 12-15 minutes.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a spacious bowl, whisk together the finely chopped parsley, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Add the shrimp to the bowl and gently toss until each piece is lovingly coated in the herbaceous marinade. Allow the shrimp to bask in the flavors for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator. (10 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
While the shrimp are marinating, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and ready to impart their smoky kiss. (5 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Lay the sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface. Fold it in half to create a sturdy base. Crimp up the edges on three sides, forming a pouch to cradle the shrimp and their flavorful marinade. (3 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Carefully transfer the marinated shrimp and all their precious juices into the foil pouch. Drizzle the entire mixture with freshly squeezed lemon juice, awakening the flavors with a burst of citrusy brightness. (2 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Seal the foil packet tightly, ensuring a secure closure to trap the steam and allow the shrimp to cook evenly. (2 minutes)
07
Step
9 mins
Place the foil packet on the preheated grill and cook until the shrimp turn a vibrant pink on the outside and the meat becomes delightfully opaque, indicating their perfect tenderness. This typically takes 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the intensity of your grill. (8-10 minutes)
08
Step
1 mins
Carefully remove the foil packet from the grill. Allow it to rest for a moment before opening, as the steam within will be quite hot. (1 minute)
09
Step
0 mins
Gently open the foil packet, being mindful of the escaping steam. Garnish with the lemon wedges and serve immediately, allowing your guests to revel in the aromatic and flavorful experience.
