Instructions
Preheat oven to 425˚F.
Place shrimp in a large Ziploc bag; add oil, garlic, lemon, mustard, parsley, and basil. Add tomatoes, seal the bag, and shake it up. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
Tear off four 16-inch sheets of parchment paper and place over a rimmed baking sheet, one parchment paper at a time.
Using a slotted spoon, arrange 1/4 of the shrimp mixture in the middle of the parchment paper.
Top with a tablespoon of the marinade that's inside the ziploc bag and couple pats of butter.
Seal the packet by folding over one end to meet the corners of the other; continue to tightly fold the open edge of the paper so to form a seal.
Repeat to make the remaining 3 packets and arrange the packets on the baking sheet.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until shrimp is opaque and no longer pink.
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before opening the packets. Be careful of the hot steam.
Serve the shrimp over rice, pasta, or as is.
Notes
Grill Method
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Fold the sides of the foil over the shrimp mixture, covering completely; seal the packets closed.
Transfer the foil packets to the grill, cover the grill, and cook for 10-12 minutes or until shrimp are opaque.
