Delicious, healthy, and ready in 30 minutes Shrimp Foil Packs in Oven are cooked in foil packets for a fuss-free weeknight meal and easy cleanup!
Loaded with flavor, shrimp and vegetables are cooked in yummy seasonings. In less than 30 minutes this foil pack dinner is ready for you to enjoy!
It really is that easy. All you need to do is chop the veggies and season everything. Next, wrap everything in foil and bake! Shrimp cook really quickly, you may want to check the vegetables at 15 minutes. The flavor is outstanding and this meal isn’t loaded with carbs or calories.
SHRIMP FOIL PACKS IN OVEN
I used summer squash, zucchini squash, bell pepper, sweet onion, and green onions. You can add whatever vegetables you like. However, make sure to use vegetables that cook quickly. More quick-cooking vegetable options are asparagus, snow peas, baby boy Choy, broccoli, and cauliflower to name a few.
Furthermore, instead of shrimp, you can substitute with any type of fish like salmon, tilapia, halibut, or scallops.
CAN I MAKE SHRIMP FOIL PACKETS ON THE GRILL?
Absolutely! You can cook these on the grill or a campfire. They’re great for camping! I included instructions to cook these foil packs in the oven and on the grill below for your convenience.

Foil pack dinners are very popular in South-Africa, but I not yet seen a recipe using shrimp, which I love! Pinned 🙂 The batteries had me think back to when my son was around two years old, he kept saying {always in the store} he wants “budgies” and for weeks we could not figure that one out – until he showed my Mom the batteries! Thank you for sharing another great recipe at the ALL MY BLOGGY FRIENDS party 🙂

Only 4 years… you are lucky. My kids are 8 and 10 and I'm still waiting for privacy in the bathroom!
This looks easy, but I'd have to sub out shrimp…only one of the 3 of us eats it and I'm not the “one!”

Don't even get me started on the sock thing. It stresses me out just thinking about the daily shouts of “Mom, I don't have any socks!” or “Mom, do they HAVE to match?” Mercy. lol
Love, love, LOVE your blog. I'm visiting from SITS and will certainly be back!

“Invest in a sock company.” Amen! lol. That was definitely something they failed to mention in those parenting books. Where in the world do those things go? Anyway, congrats on the SITS day! Oh, and I'll be stealing that shrimp and veggie foil pack recipe. lol. Enjoy your day.

This looks amazing. And, funny story, my 5 year old is obsessed with shrimp! It's still one of the only things we can get him to eat when we are out to eat. So hopefully this will become a new family favorite.

Hi Paula,
I don't know what I'd do without aluminum foil when I cooked. I often use it to cook salmon and veggies. Never thought of trying shrimp! Enjoy your SITS day! 🙂
