Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ears fresh corn or 4 small pieces thawed frozen corn on the cob, cut into 1-inch-thick pieces
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp (no need to thaw if using frozen)
1 lemon, zest grated, cut into wedges
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium. Microwave the potatoes until softened but not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Let cool a few minutes, then dice.

  • Tear off four 18-inch-long sheets of foil. Divide the vegetables among the foil sheets, piling them in the middle. Add the shrimp to the same bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper; toss well. Add the shrimp to the vegetable piles.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons wine over each pile of vegetables and shrimp. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into 4 pieces and add a piece to each pile. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice; fold in the sides to form a packet.
  • Grill the foil packets until the potatoes are tender and the shrimp is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and let stand 5 minutes. Carefully open the packets and sprinkle with the parsley; serve with the lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, succulent shrimp: Opt for shrimp that are firm, have a translucent appearance, and smell like the sea. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have an off odor.
  • Prep your broccoli florets: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and steam or blanch them briefly to retain their vibrant green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Enhance the taste of your shrimp and broccoli by marinating them in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. This marinade infuses the ingredients with umami and a hint of sweetness.
  • Wrap the packets tightly: To prevent the packets from leaking during cooking, ensure they are tightly sealed. Fold the edges of the foil securely to create a sealed pouch.
  • Cook the packets properly: Bake the foil packets in a preheated oven at the recommended temperature and duration. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the shrimp and broccoli. Check for doneness by carefully opening a packet and ensuring the shrimp are opaque and the broccoli is tender.

Conclusion:

Shrimp with broccoli in foil packets is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that combines the delicate flavor of shrimp with the vibrant color and crisp texture of broccoli. This versatile dish can be customized to your preference by adjusting the marinade ingredients or adding other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or baby corn. Serve it with steamed rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal. Remember to follow the tips mentioned above to ensure your shrimp and broccoli in foil packets turn out perfectly every time. Enjoy this healthy and flavorful dish as a weeknight dinner or a special occasion treat!
