These garlic shrimp packets is the easiest way to cook a big batch of great shrimp quick. Perfectly garlicky, with a little red pepper kick. You really cannot find an easier way to make a big batch of super-tasty shrimp in no time at all. And cleanup could not get easier! Just toss your shells and tails into the foil, wad it up, and into the trash bin it goes! Done!
I made extra shrimp and had them the next day as shrimp cocktail. Fantastic! I could’ve eaten them all day long. The shrimp are packed with flavor, making them the idea appetizers too!
The Best Soppin’
You gotta serve these with bread. You can’t let those juices go to waste. Nothing escaped the packets so there’s nothing but great flavors at the bottom. That means sopping. The perfect bread for sopping up the delicious yum-yum juice that pools at the bottom of the garlic shrimp packets is our favorite gotta-have-it garlic bread.
Also try my grilled hobo packets. They’re full all sorts of yummy things.
