The beauty of a foil-pack is that it traps all the juices and flavors of a meal in a tidy bundle. In this recipe, as the shrimps cook, their natural juices combine with butter, white wine and other seasonings to create an abundant pool of broth perfect for dipping crusty bread into.

Ingredients
- 4 Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 ears fresh corn or 4 small pieces thawed frozen corn on the cob, cut into 1-inch-thick pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp (no need to thaw if using frozen)
- 1 lemon, zest grated, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium. Microwave the potatoes until softened but not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Let cool a few minutes, then dice.
- Put 4 tablespoons butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Add the potatoes, corn, garlic and Old Bay and toss well; season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Tear off four 18-inch-long sheets of foil. Divide the vegetables among the foil sheets, piling them in the middle. Add the shrimp to the same bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper; toss well. Add the shrimp to the vegetable piles.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons wine over each pile of vegetables and shrimp. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into 4 pieces and add a piece to each pile. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice; fold in the sides to form a packet.
- Grill the foil packets until the potatoes are tender and the shrimp is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and let stand 5 minutes. Carefully open the packets and sprinkle with the parsley; serve with the lemon wedges.

Quick, easy and delicious!
This is a very quick, easy to prep and delicious meal. It is now a regular rotation meal in our family. Ingredients easy to find, and not overly pricey. Highly recommend – adjust the Old Bay to your liking – we use about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 tablespoons.
Cooked this tonight. If you cut the potatoes small enough you don’t need to microwave them. Added a tablespoon and a half of bay seasoning added to the flavor. I did cook some andouille sausage in butter and olive oil and mixed it when everything was cooked. A little extra flavor. Very easy to prepare
We made this with frozen shrimp & it was cooked just right. The only modification I made was I used a heaping teaspoon of Old Bay instead of a tablespoon & it was enough for us. It was delicious & easy cleanup!
Plan to make this once corn season begins. I have a question, should I use raw or precooked shrimp?
