- 1 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 lemon
- 2 pounds peeled deveined shrimp
Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine shrimp with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, Old Bay seasoning, chili garlic sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fresh oregano leaves, sliced onion, and the thinly sliced lemon along with its juice. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 2
Lay four 16x12 inch sheets of heavy-duty foil on a work surface. Divide the shrimp mixture evenly among the foil sheets. Fold all foil edges towards the center to create a bag, ensuring the bottom is not crimped to hold the liquid.
Step 3
Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup of water to each foil packet. Crimp the tops of the packets tightly to seal. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
Step 4
Arrange the sealed packets in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Alternatively, prepare a medium charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Bake the packets in the preheated oven or grill over medium-high heat until the shrimp are just opaque in the center. Carefully open one packet to check for doneness, being mindful of escaping steam. This will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
