Shrimp Foil Packets – Shrimp on the Grill Made Easy

Looking for an alternative to hamburgers and hot dogs for summer grilling? Looking for something healthy to throw on the grill? How about these shrimp foil packets?

Easy Shrimp Foil Packets

I love foil packet dinners for summer grilling—there’s nothing better than a meal that doesn’t heat up the kitchen (and bonus points for easy cleanup!).

This recipe features shrimp, red onion, tomatoes, and chickpeas wrapped up in foil and cooked to perfection. Finished with tangy feta, fresh dill, and a squeeze of lemon, these Greek-inspired shrimp foil packets are a summer dinner dream: quick, simple, and packed with Mediterranean flavor.

Shrimp Foil Packets – Easy Summer Grilled Shrimp

Why This Recipe Works

Using foil packets are great when you want to make a one-pot meal on the grill. The foil gently steams the shrimp and vegetables, prevents food from slipping through the grates, and simplifies cleanup.

  • Fast: On the table in under 20 minutes.
  • Customizable: Add other vegetables, olives, or herbs to suit your preference. I’ve even included oven and air fryer instructions in case you don’t have a grill.
  • Easy Cleanup: Relax and enjoy dinner, knowing you don’t have to clean the grill after.
  • Nutritious: Protein-packed meal with heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory ingredients
  • Dietary Restrictions: Weight Watchers-friendly, gluten-free, high-protein, high-fiber, Mediterranean diet-friendly, dairy-free (if omitting feta), and anti- inflammatory.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • pinch kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 12 ounces large or extra large peeled and deveined shrimp
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ small red onion, cut into wedges – about ½ cup
  • ½ cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • ¼ cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat an outdoor grill to 350F covered over high heat.
  • Add the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Add the shrimp, tomatoes, red onion, chickpeas, and olives to the bowl and toss to coat everything in the marinade.
  • Tear off 2, 12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil. Divide the shrimp mixture in half, spooning each portion in the center of each piece of foil. Bring two ends up and over the shrimp and crimp to close. Crimp sides so everything is completely enclosed. Transfer the foil packets to a rimmed baking sheet to easily transport to the grill.
  • Carefully place the foil packets on one side of the grill and turn the burners below the packets down to low. Close the lid. Cook for 6-8 minutes. Remove the foil packets to the rimmed baking sheet.
  • Carefully open the foil packets, there will be hot steam trapped inside so use caution while opening. Evenly divide the feta cheese and chopped dill between the foil packets and serve with lemon wedges.
