Description
A delicious and quick dinner option featuring shrimp and broccoli baked in foil packs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) medium raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tail-on or tail-off)
- 2 tablespoons butter, diced (or ghee, or olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or chicken stock, divided
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Red chili pepper flakes, optional
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 large head of broccoli, broken into florets
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Cut 2 sheets of 14 by 12-inch (35 x 30 cm) heavy-duty aluminum foil then lay each piece separately on the countertop.
- In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the spice mix: Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (plus powdered stock if using, see notes).
- In a shallow plate, add shrimp and sprinkle with the spice mix, coating on all sides.
- Divide shrimp onto the aluminum foil near the center then place broccoli florets to one side of the shrimp.
- Add garlic over broccoli and shrimp, then sprinkle with lemon juice, red crushed chili pepper flakes (if using) and finish with salt and pepper.
- Divide butter pieces evenly among the shrimp foil packets, layering them over the shrimp and broccoli.
- Add a tablespoon of vegetable stock in each foil packet and 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.
- Transfer to a baking sheet and bake shrimp foil packets in the oven, sealed side upward until shrimps have cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Carefully unwrap the baked shrimp and broccoli foil packets, then garnish with fresh parsley and a slice of lemon. Enjoy!
Notes
- Powdered stock can be added for more flavor if desired.
