Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds large raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 whole lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pats
  • parchment paper, for the packets

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.
