Ingredients
1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 Lemons, thinly sliced
3 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped
4 tbsp Butter
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long.
Divide the peeled and deveined shrimp evenly among the four foil sheets, placing them in the center of each sheet in a single layer.
Top each portion of shrimp with one sliced lemon, three thinly sliced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of butter, distributing the garlic and lemon slices evenly.
Sprinkle each foil packet with salt and black pepper to taste, then add 1/2 tablespoon of the chopped fresh parsley to each packet.
Fold each foil sheet in half over the shrimp and ingredients, then fold the edges tightly to create sealed packets, leaving a small air pocket for steam circulation.
Place all four foil packets on a large baking sheet and bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F.
Carefully open the foil packets (watch for steam) and transfer the shrimp and all accumulated juices to serving plates. Serve immediately while hot.
