Shrimp Scampi Foil Packets are so fast and easy, perfect to make all summer long!
Shrimp Scampi Foil Packets
These grilled shrimp scampi foil packets are SO good, you’ll want to serve them with crisp bread to soak up all the delicious garlicky juices! When you want easy grilling, foil packet meals are perfect for weeknight dinners with easy clean-up!
My preferred foil for grilling is Reynolds Wrap Heavy-Duty Aluminum Foil which is a heavier gauge foil than standard Reynolds Wrap, which is perfect since you don’t have to worry about breaking or tearing, even with heavier foods and it protects food over direct heat.
How To Make Foil Packets
- Tear off a 16” sheet of foil.
- Center the food on the foil sheet.
- Bring up the long sides of the foil, so the ends meet over the food.
- Double fold the ends, leaving room for heat to circulate inside.
- Double fold the two short ends to seal the packet.
- Grill covered directly on the flame according to directions.
- To bake in the oven, preheat oven to 425F and cook 10 to 12 minutes.

Followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious!
This is delicious and a simple summer evening dinner. My husband loved it. Served it on a Caesar salad for a perfect meal. Love all of your recipes. Thank you
Hi. Would this work with already cooked frozen shrimp?
yes! mine were frozen and just had to thaw them out before starting recipe.
Can you substitute scallops?
Made this without the wine since I didn’t have any. Absolutely delicious!!! This is going to be a regular recipe for sure!!
Good to know. I just started to make this and realized I have no wine.
I just made the shrimp scampi in foil-OMG! So amazing. I’ve been wanting Shrimp Scam but I’m trying to eat healthy. Thank you. Every recipe I’ve tried has turned out delicious .
Can these be done with the shell still on?
What can I use instead of wine?
Chicken broth or you can leave it out.
This was so simple, yet so delicious! Husband said if he got this meal in a restaurant he’d be thrilled. Definitely going to be another keeper! 🙂
I’m definitely going to try this recipe. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make shrimp Scampi that wasn’t complicated. I can do this easy. Thank you.
SooOOOOOOOoooOOO good and SO EASY
This looks delicious. Could the packets be prepared ahead and frozen before cooking?
So easy and tremendously flavorful!! One of the best things I have made from Gina – ended up doing mine in the oven. Will be a weeknight staple for sure!!
This recipe is so good! I made it with potato gnocchi and roasted asparagus and and the flavors were amazing! Will definitely make again
Yes I love foil pack recipies! Of course for camping they are great, but also in the summer at home so i don’t have to cook indoors and heat up my house more than nature already has.
AMAZING, makes juicy shrimp, SO much better than making on the stove. Tastes like Red Lobster shrimp scampi 🙂
Gina…what do you think about scallops in foil/grilled?
Made these tonight on our camping trip. Easy to make with minimal clean up. Absolutely delicious! Will be making this again.
2 for 2! This is the second dish I have tried from skinnytaste and both have been flavorful and crava-able. This dish is absolutely delicious and so easy to make. I was blown away – tastes like we went out to a super-fancy seafood restaurant. I baked mine in the oven.
I made this and it was AMAZING! I will totally try it again!
DO you think I prepare the shrimp and foil packets the night before and just throw them in the oven when I’m ready for dinner?
The lime juice might affect the shrimp this way.
This recipes are so versatile! I love how they give the alternative cooking instructions! You always have options! And they are so delicious to boot 🙂
