These Grilled Lime Coconut Shrimp Foil Packs are easy, healthy, and out of this world delicious! Perfect for grilling season!
Making healthy grilled meals is pretty easy when using foil packets. Everything cooks within the packet, so cleanup is a cinch! These Grilled Lime Coconut Shrimp Foil Packs are easy, healthy, and out of this world delicious! Serve these with a delicious Strawberry Coconut Cocktail!
This recipe comes together really easily, but I do highly recommend letting the shrimp marinade for a while. The longer you can let them marinade in the coconut mixture, the more flavor they will absorb.
How to make Grilled Lime Coconut Shrimp Foil Packs:
**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**
- Make the marinade: Make the marinade in the food processor then pour the mixture into a zip lock bag, add shrimp, and seal. Toss shrimp to coat with mixture. Place in fridge and allow to marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably longer.
- Heat grill over high heat while assembling packets.
- Using 4 large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil, lay each out on the counter, then add vegetables to the center, the marinated shrimp on top of the vegetables, and bring up sides of foiling and roll over a few times, then seal the packet. You want to make sure there is room left in the packet for air to flow around the food.
- Cook the packets on the grill.
- Remove from grill, carefully open packets.
If you want to serve something alongside these Grilled Lime Coconut Shrimp foil packs, I recommend quinoa or rice. I would literally just dump the packet on top of the rice or quinoa, and eat it like that – super yum! The packet retains a lot of yummy juices from cooking, so make sure to pour all that on the rice or quinoa. Yum yum yum!

Sharon Climo says
It sounds delicious! But I am just curious, I have always heard that when marinating shrimp, don’t let them marinate more than 20 minutes, or the shrimp starts cooking. Am I wrong? The recipe calls for marinating the shrimp for two hours at least. I’m just a little confused. Please answer as I really really want to try this!
