    Shrimp Boil Foil Packs

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    When I think of a shrimp boil I envision long picnic tables lined with newspapers and huge pots of boiling water surrounded my lots of family and friends.  A seafood boil is a tradition that started in Louisiana and has spread throughout the south.

    Shrimp Boils for a Week Night Dinner

    I'm a shrimp lover, so I was instantly drawn to this tradition, but I wanted to do it on a smaller scale for my family.  So I came up with the idea to load up some foil packs and grill them.  The result was perfection - and it fits right in with your summer cooking'!

      This is a totally awesome idea. I've started saving my shrimp shells in my freezer for the broth I can make from them. I'm going to do this, but boil the potatoes in the shrimp broth.

      Thanks for this great idea. There are many times I want this to eat, but not the huge amount that goes with an all- out shrimp, crab, or crawfish boil.
