- Place 6-8 shrimp in the center of the aluminum foil and pour ¼ of the butter/garlic mixture over shrimp.
- Bring the longer edges of the aluminum foil together and twist until just closed. (It’s OK to leave a little gap for ventilation while baking.). Roll up the shorter sides of the aluminum foil to make a foil packet. Repeat with the remaining shrimp, sauce and aluminum foil.

Notes
*If you use smaller shrimp, make sure you decrease your cook time accordingly.
**Best wines to use are Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Viognier.
