How to Make Foil Pack Chili Garlic Shrimp
- You can cook what ever vegetable you like but make sure to cut it small enough so it finishes cooking at the same time the shrimp cooks.
- Best vegetables to use are tender, quick cooking vegetables like bell peppers, boc chop, cabbage. Or firmer vegetables are ok if they’re cut smaller like broccoli, green beans or cauliflower.
- If you like it extra spicy add more hot sauce at the end. Don’t add too much during cooking because the hot sauce might burn.
- Instead of making individual smaller servings, you can make one big serving. You’ll need to add longer cooking times if you’re making one big batch.

It’s so easy to cook with the foil pack. I’ve been addicted to this recipe since I started my low-carb diet.
I love pre-packing these right before going to camp and cooking it over an open fire. Dinner during camp just got 1,000 times more enjoyable!
I can’t believe how easy cooking shrimp just got! Thanks for the foil pack idea! I love cooking individual serve sizes for the family. Makes everything a lot easier.
