Red potatoes are cook a bit faster and are perfectly creamy. Cherry tomatoes: cherry tomatoes cook down and add to a delicious sauce after the shrimp foil packets are grilled.

Lemons: a little citrus added to these foil packets are crucial. Don’t skip it. Kielbasa: like sea food boils and other seafood packets adding kielbasa adds saltiness and compliments other ingredients. If you don’t like kielbasa you can omit or use your favorite pre-cooked sausage. Chicken broth and wine: we use chicken broth and wine to create a delicious sauce that adds flavor but also is the base for a delicious sauce that you will toss all of the shrimp packets sauce with. Tobasco: Tabasco adds a bit of vinegar and bite to the shrimp packet sauce. Butter: butter and shrimp are made for each other. Don’t skip it.
