If you haven’t heard of shrimp boil, it’s a southern one (although I’m sure other regions have similar versions of crab, lobster, etc.). The packet will do the rest while you cook.

Yes! You don’t need a campfire or grill to enjoy these shrimp boil foil packets. Cook these briefly in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 35-40 minutes.
