Preparation
Step 1
Preparation
Using small kitchen scissors, cut shrimp
shells along the curved backs. Remove vein,
keeping shell intact. (Skip this step if using
peeled deveined shrimp.) Toss shrimp and
next 9 ingredients in a large bowl.
Place four 16x12" sheets of heavy-duty
foil on a work surface. Divide shrimp mixture
among sheets. Fold all foil edges toward the
center to accommodate the liquid; do not
crimp. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 1/4 cup water
to each. Crimp tightly to seal. Preheat oven
to 325°F. Arrange packets in a single layer on
a rimmed baking sheet. Alternatively, build a
medium fire in a charcoal grill, or preheat
a gas grill to medium-high. Bake or grill until
shrimp are just opaque in center (carefully
open 1 packet to check; steam will escape),
about 30 minutes. Carefully cut open
packets.
