Shrimp and Asparagus are cooked together in individual foil packs in a rich buttery sauce. The bright lemon pairs perfectly here and the garlic adds so much flavor. Cook them on the grill or in the oven.
PREPRATION TIME:
- Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs large (21/25) shrimp , peeled and deveined
- 2 Tbsp dry white wine or chicken broth
- 4 tsp minced garlic (4 cloves)
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 Tbsp butter , diced into small cubes
- 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 lb medium thickness asparagus , woody ends trimmed
Instructions:
-
-
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 400 – 425 degrees F).
-
Cut 4 sheets of 14 by 12-inch heavy duty aluminum foil then lay each piece separately on countertop.
-
Divide shrimp among packs near center then place asparagus to one side of the shrimp (going the long direction of the foil).
-
Pour 1/2 Tbsp white wine over each. Sprinkle over garlic (1 tsp per packet) and lemon zest then season with salt and pepper.
-
Divide butter pieces evenly among packets layering them over the shrimp and asparagus.
-
Wrap packets in and crimp edges together then wrap ends up (don’t wrap too tight – keep a little extra space inside for heat to circulate).
-
Grill, sealed side upward, until shrimp has cooked through, about 9 – 10 minutes.
-
Carefully unwrap then drizzle with lemon juice (or just serve with lemon wedges for spritzing) and sprinkle with parsley.
-
Notes:
- For baking in the oven: preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Cook 13 to 15 minutes.
- A good side dish for these is couscous, orzo, or rice since you’ll have that delicious sauce with a little extra to go around.
