Tips for Making Shrimp and Asparagus Foil Packs
When zesting the lemon, be sure to not get any of the pith (the white stuff) on the shrimp. It’s quite bitter.
For easier prep, buy shrimp that have been peeled and deveined.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice is best here. Trust me, it makes a big difference!
