Description

Sizzling garlic herb steak and shrimp foil packets bring restaurant-quality flavor right to your backyard grill. Sealed with aromatic herbs and butter, these easy packets deliver a quick, mouthwatering dinner that’ll have your family asking for seconds.


Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 1 lb sirloin steak
  • 1 lb shrimp

Herbs and Spices:

  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Additional Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Mix 1 lb sirloin steak cubes and 1 lb shrimp with 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon each of oregano, thyme, and paprika, 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Tear off four 12-inch aluminum foil sheets and divide seasoned protein mixture evenly in the center of each sheet.
  3. Fold foil edges tightly, creating sealed rectangular packets that trap steam inside.
  4. Preheat grill or oven to 400°F and place packets directly on cooking surface.
  5. Cook packets for exactly 15-20 minutes until steak reaches your preferred doneness and shrimp turn completely pink.
  6. Remove packets carefully, protecting your hands from hot steam when opening.
  7. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the proteins inside each packet.
  8. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the seafood and meat.

Notes

  • Always check seafood and meat doneness by using a meat thermometer for guaranteed safety and perfect cooking.
  • Shrimp cooks faster than steak, so cut the steak into uniform small cubes to ensure even cooking in the packet.
  • For a low-carb version, replace traditional oil with avocado oil and serve over cauliflower rice instead of regular grains.
  • Make cleanup super easy by using high-quality, non-stick aluminum foil that prevents sticking and tears less during cooking.
