  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 40 jumbo peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 4 garlic cloves (2 grated, 2 thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup dry white apple vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • Red pepper flakes to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together grated garlic, kosher salt, and olive oil. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Tear off four sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each measuring about 16 inches long. Place ten shrimp in the center of each sheet.
  3. Top shrimp with sliced garlic, drizzle with vinegar and lemon juice, sprinkle red pepper flakes, and add half a tablespoon of melted butter on each portion.
  4. Fold the foil to create packets, ensuring they are sealed tightly to trap steam.
  5. Grill packets over high heat for about 8 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque. Carefully open with tongs to avoid steam burns.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
