Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Aluminum foil

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare Foil Packets: Cut 4 large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12x12 inches each. Lay them out flat on a work surface.

      Mix Garlic Butter: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the garlic is evenly distributed.

        Assemble the Packets: Place an equal amount of shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and asparagus in the center of each foil piece. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture evenly over the shrimp and vegetables.

          Seal the Packets: Carefully fold the edges of the foil over the shrimp and vegetables to create a tightly sealed packet. Ensure there are no gaps for steam to escape.

            Cook the Packets: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

              Serve: Carefully open the foil packets to allow the steam to escape. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

                Enjoy: Dig in and savor the delicious garlic butter shrimp with roasted vegetables right from the foil!
