coconut lime shrimp packets

These Coconut Lime Shrimp Packets take just minutes to assemble and less than 15 minutes to cook, and they pack tons of delicious, summer-inspired flavors!

Hello, dearest readers! Thank you so much for hanging around my little blog even though school has been completely crazy and taking up ALL my time lately! I just finished my first complete round of exams (so 4 total) so I have approximately 5 minutes to breathe before the next round starts. But it's okay! This is just what my life is now. 😉 I am sharing these phenomenal Coconut Lime Shrimp Packets with y'all today, which are from my friend Jesseca's brand new cookbook Foiled!

If you've been hanging around here for any limited amount of time, you've probably noticed I am an absolute shrimp fiend! Give me all of the shrimp, all of the time. I honestly haven't found a cooking method I haven't liked featuring these little shellfish, so as I was flipping through Jesseca's book, this recipe totally stood out to me. It starts with a delicious marinade made with coconut milk, shredded coconut, lime juice, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro, which is then tossed with the shrimp. You then wrap everything up in a foil packet, and either throw it on the grill, over a campfire, or in the oven. So simple, but these coconut lime shrimp packets pack SO much flavor!

I am seriously all sorts of in-love with this coconut lime marinade though, and I can't wait to try it on chicken and other protein! The possibilities are endless. While this is my favorite recipe from Foiled (well, as of right now that is 😉 ) Jesseca's book has tons of tasty, simple recipes, perfect for camping or just for something fun and mess-free. All of the recipes in this cookbook are made in tin foil packets and are made to be cooked over a campfire... but they work out just as well over the grill or in the oven. I made these coconut lime shrimp packets in my gas grill and they turned out perfectly! Juicy, tender, and super flavorful.

A few food bloggers and I have paired up with Jesseca to bring all of our awesome readers a fun summer giveaway! You can win a copy of Foiled, of course, along with a patio set, a gas grill, a gift card, and a set of cast iron skillets. I can't think of a more perfect summer entertainment prize pack.
