Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil (heavy-duty)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp and broccoli florets.
Drizzle the olive oil over the shrimp and broccoli, then add the minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss everything until evenly coated.
Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12x18 inches in size. Lay the sheets flat on a work surface.
Evenly divide the shrimp and broccoli mixture among the 4 foil sheets, placing the mixture in the center of each sheet.
Fold each foil sheet into a sealed packet by bringing the long edges together and folding them tightly, then folding up the short edges to completely enclose the contents.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill (or on a baking sheet if using the oven). Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked and the broccoli is tender.
Carefully open the foil packets to release steam, then transfer the shrimp and broccoli to plates or serve directly from the packets.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving for added flavor and color.
