How has the summer been treating you? I’ve been able to enjoy a relaxing summer and spend a lot of time with my husband and kids. I have taken some time to rest, reflect and be thankful for this summer, as we will probably not have one like it again. Every summer, families usually travel, kids are in camps and, I don’t know about you, but I’m used to being busy and running from one thing to the next. Sometimes, you never get a chance to take a breath.

This summer has been nothing like that. I’m sure most of us are in the same boat. And I hope we can all just enjoy it and take some time to do the things we’ve always wanted to do. For example, I have friends who are finishing renovations on their homes: painting, renovating bathrooms, building flower beds and more. Every Sunday night, we video chat with my parents and my brother’s and sister’s families. We’ve never gotten together like this on a regular basis, as we all live in different states. It’s been really nice and I’m thankful this summer has given us an opportunity to do this.

Grilled Shrimp Foil Packets

My family and I have been taking advantage of our pool and the grill. Dining alfresco has never been better. Recently, we made these Grilled Shrimp Foil Packets and I made an herb butter blend to put inside the packets. Have you made an herb butter blend before? If not, pay attention because you have to try this!

Homemade Herb Butter Blend

The beautiful thing about an herb butter blend is how versatile it is. I do recommend using a great tasting, great quality product like Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt. The ingredients are just sweet cream, olive oil, salt and sea salt. The Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt, mixed with parsley, garlic and lemon zest make up the most delicious herb butter blend! I really love this combination for these Grilled Shrimp Foil Packets. In addition to the shrimp, the packets also have tomatoes and zucchini and the herb butter blend enhances everything beautifully.

For the herbs, you can also try minced scallions and fresh dill. I have also made it using parsley, basil, rosemary and fresh oregano. This herb butter blend, I think, is best with grilled meats, like chicken and grilled steaks.

These Grilled Shrimp Foil Packets come together so easily and only need to be on the grill for about 12 minutes. I highly recommend adding a touch more herb butter blend before serving. It’s so delicious! Feel free to eat these right out of the foil so clean up is really simple. Wishing everyone a great summer! We hope you try these Grilled Shrimp Foil Packets.

Servings: 6

Equipment

  • aluminum foil

Ingredients

For the Herb Butter Blend:

  • 1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt
  • 2 heaping tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 lemon zest only

For the Foil Packets:

  • 18 to 20 large shrimp peeled and deveined, with the tails on (raw, uncooked)
  • 1/2 lb. baby medley potatoes cut into small pieces
  • 3 ears corn cut crosswise into 4 pieces each
  • 1 medium zucchini cut into pieces
  • assortment red and yellow cherry tomatoes
  • kosher salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon sliced into thin wedges

Instructions

For the Herb Butter Blend:

  • Using a medium mixing bowl, mix together all the ingredients until combined. Transfer herb butter spread to plastic wrap. Form and shape into a log, cover with the plastic wrap and twist the sides to close. Refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours, or overnight. 

For the Foil Packets:

  • Preheat your gas or charcoal grill over high heat. Prep 6 sheets of foil about 15 inches long. Place everything in the center of your foil sheet. Start with a few pieces of shrimp, add some potatoes, 2 pieces of corn, some zucchini and some cherry tomatoes. Top with a heaping tablespoon of the herb butter blend, season with salt and pepper and place a lemon wedge inside.
  • To fold the foil packets: lift up the bottom end of the foil and cover shrimp and potato mixture and fold over the top part of the foil to close. Fold over the top one more time and then, fold over the sides to close and secure. If you have room, fold the sides over one more time as well. Repeat until all the foil packets are made.
  • Place foil packets on to the grill and lower the lid to close the grill. Cook until just cooked through, for about 12 to 15 minutes. Depending on your grill, you may need to cook the packets for longer. To check, open the grill, and using tongs, carefully open a packet to check. When finished, use tongs to carefully remove all of the packets off the grill and onto plates. Open carefully and enjoy! Serve with more herb butter blend if desired.

Notes

If you don't have a grill, you can also place these foil packets into your oven. Cook at 425 for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
