Easy Shrimp on the Beach
This recipe is one way to quickly prepare shrimp for
easy transport to the beach!
It is wonderful
to eat and has an easy clean-up at the beach!
It is our favorite for a light dinner at sunset on any beach!
10-12 small shrimp per
serving (shelled, deveined & cleaned)
Butter
Fresh garlic – several
cloves fore each serving
Seasonings (of your choice:
Cajun, salt, pepper or chili are options)
Tabasco sauce
Lemons – sliced
Foil
White rice
To have ready to take to the beach:
Small grill, tongs, serving
spoon, paper plates, plastic forks, drinks, etc.
Before You Go:
Cut two foil squares
for each serving that you are preparing.
On a counter, lay out one
of each of the foil squares – saving 2nd sheet.
In the center of each foil
square place the 10-12 small shrimp.
Next place on the shrimp pile about 1-2 tablespoons of butter,
seasonings as desired, squeeze the lemon
slices slightly over the shrimp and then lay them on the pile, add 2 cloves of
garlic (after smashing each clove with a knife to release flavor). Sprinkle Tabasco sauce over each
pile of shrimp.
Fold the foil over the pile
completely Next, using 2nd foil square, lay folded foil face down on
the 2nd foil square and fold over in such a way to tightly seal in
the butter as it melts.
Place foil packets in a
small ice chest for your trip to the beach.
Next:
Prepare rice as directed on package at home. Keep warm in covered pan with a
large towel wrapped tightly around it.
Now you are ready! Head to your favorite beach. Light your
grill. Grill the packets, moving them
around the grill so as to cook evenly. Depending on the fire, it may take 10-15
minutes. Open one foil packet to check
for "doneness".
Serve the shrimp over the
rice.
Enjoy the sunset.
