A quick and easy grilled shrimp boil foil pack recipe featuring juicy shrimp, corn, and potatoes coated in a savory Old Bay butter sauce. Perfect for fuss-free summer cookouts with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (wild-caught if possible)
  • 2 ears fresh corn, cut into thirds
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon gold or red potatoes recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium lemon, juiced and zested
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients (10 minutes): Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Cut the corn into thirds. Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done. Mince the garlic and chop the parsley.
  2. Make the Old Bay Butter (5 minutes): In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, Old Bay seasoning, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Assemble the Foil Packs (5 minutes): Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty foil (about 12×18 inches each). Divide potatoes, corn, and shrimp evenly among the sheets. Pour the Old Bay butter mixture over each pile, season with salt and pepper, and fold the foil tightly to seal the packets, leaving room for steam.
  4. Grill the Packs (15 minutes): Place foil packs on a preheated medium grill (about 375°F). Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until shrimp are pink and firm and potatoes are tender.
  5. Serve and Garnish (2 minutes): Carefully open packs (steam will be hot!) and sprinkle chopped parsley over the top. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges.

Notes

For even cooking, keep potatoes and corn pieces roughly the same size. Seal foil packs tightly to lock in steam and juices. Fresh Old Bay seasoning is best for flavor. You can assemble packs ahead and refrigerate until grilling. If using oven, bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes. Avoid microwaving leftovers to prevent rubbery shrimp.
