Description

If you’re in the mood for something light, flavorful, and ridiculously easy, Garlic Butter Shrimp and Asparagus Foil Packs are calling your name. These foil packets are your shortcut to a low-carb dinner that still feels indulgent. Juicy shrimp are coated in a garlicky lemon butter, nestled beside crisp-tender asparagus, and cooked to perfection—either in the oven or on the grill.

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Packets
Lay out 4 large sheets of foil. Lightly grease with olive oil or nonstick spray.

Step 2: Mix the Sauce
In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, zest, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 3: Assemble
Divide asparagus between foil sheets. Top with shrimp and spoon the garlic butter mixture over everything.

Step 4: Fold & Cook
Seal the foil packs by folding over the edges.

Bake at 400°F for 15–17 minutes
Grill over medium heat for 10–12 minutes

Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Open carefully (hot steam inside!), then top with fresh parsley, grated Parmesan, or a squeeze of lemon if you like.

Notes

Use jumbo shrimp for best texture.

Slice thick asparagus spears in half for even cooking.

Want extra sauce? Add an extra tablespoon of butter or a splash of white wine to each packet.
