These simple to make Pineapple and Shrimp Foil Packets go together in minutes with only 6 ingredients! Make them over the fire while camping or grill them on the deck for a SUPER easy and delicious weeknight meal!
Camping and grilling season is upon us! I don’t know about you, but personally I think everything tastes better on the grill. I find any way to make my meat, veggies and even bread on there- I just love the extra flavor it adds.
When we go camping, we absolutely love to make foil packets. Much of the prep work can be done ahead, and there is just something fun and authentic about cooking food all together in foil. One year, when it didn’t work out for our family to go camping because of rainy weather, I actually made foil packets in the oven and they still turned out delicious! That is the mark of a great recipe.
These Pineapple and Shrimp Foil Packets are SO easy and are bursting with flavor, this will become a new family camping favorite in no time!
After you clean your shrimp, cut the pineapple, and mix together the seasoning and brown sugar, all you need to do is layer the ingredients on a sheet of foil, sprinkle with seasoning mixture and butter, fold and cook! Note: I suggest spraying the foil with cooking spray, as well as using the butter, to make sure they don’t burn on the grill or stick to the foil. The order should be cooking spray, pineapple, shrimp, red pepper, seasoning mixture, and then butter!
Just look at how delicious these Pineapple and Shrimp Foil Packets look once they are grilled to perfection! These can be served as a main dish, an appetizer, or even an afternoon snack. Cooking for camping or a picnic on the patio has never been easier!

What temperature and how long to cook this in the oven, please? They look great but we don’t have a grill right now. Thanks.
Hi Elise, we did cook them in the oven, so I can’t say for sure. But I would cook them at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes and then check them, the shrimp need to turn white and the pineapple should be soft and juicy.
Happy Cooking!
