Can I Bake my Shrimp Boil Packets?
Yes! You can easily bake your packets in the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and bake for about 15 minutes. How great is it that you can still make this recipe on rainy days or even a cold day in the winter when you crave the warmth of summer.
What to Serve with your Shrimp Boil Packets
If you want to serve something along side your shrimp boil, some of our favorites are:
Rice
Crusty bread to dip in the lemon butter
Cole slaw
We doubt you will have any leftovers, but if you find that you do, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave.
Any while you have that fire going, might we suggest a gooey s’mores to finish off the day?
