Lemon Garlic Shrimp and Broccoli Foil Packs are perfect for the summer grilling season. These easy meal packs make a deliciously healthy and satisfying dinner that requires very little effort.

This shrimp and broccoli could not be any easier to make. No pots or pans are needed, just grill and enjoy. Plus, there is no messy clean up. I truly appreciate that on busy days.

Too cold to grill or you just don’t feel like it? That’s okay! You can also bake the foil packs in the oven if you would prefer or if it’s too cold to grill. Just put them on a sheet pan and pop them into the oven. I hope that you enjoy the Lemon Garlic Shrimp and Broccoli!

How to make Shrimp and Broccoli Foil Packs with Lemon Garlic Butter
Note: If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them by running under cold water, then pat dry.
Preheat the grill over medium-high heat. Grease or spray 2 large sheets of foil.
Lemon Garlic Butter
Next, make the seasoned lemon garlic butter. Melt the butter in a covered, microwave-safe bowl. Then stir in the minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Pour over the shrimp and toss to coat.
Prepare the foil packets
Next, place the shrimp and broccoli next to each other on top of the greased foil and pour any remaining garlic butter over the shrimp. Add a lemon wedge.
Seal the tin foil around everything by folding and pinch closed. You want to make a boat so that no liquid escapes.
Grilling Time
Place the foil packs on the preheated grill and shut the lid. Cook for 10 – 15 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and fully cooked and the broccoli is tender.
Carefully remove the packs from the grill with mitts and transfer to plates. Garnish with lemon wedges, serve and enjoy!
