For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture for a touch of heat. Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried herbs. Use about 1 teaspoon of each fresh herb (rosemary and basil), finely chopped. If you don't have a grill, you can bake the foil packets in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through. Ensure the foil is heavy-duty to prevent tearing during grilling. Serve with a side of lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus.
