Looking for a delicious camping-friendly recipe to try? Look no further than these scrumptious foil pack grilled shrimp tacos! Full of flavor and easy to cook!
I don’t know about you, but we are always looking for new recipes to try when we go away on a camping trip. When we camp, we have any number of methods for cooking – from indoors in our various small appliances to the portable camping grill or, of course, over a campfire!
We try to take all of these cooking options into consideration when we plan our camping menu for an upcoming trip.
Foil Pack Meals are Grill and Campfire Friendly
We started out with some foil pack campfire desserts a few years ago (like these foil pack banana s’mores!) and quickly realized what an easy cooking method this is! Of course a big bonus to cooking in foil is that the clean up is extremely effortless. Just toss the trash and that’s it!
Foil pack meals cook up great over a campfire, and also on a grill. So even on days when a campfire isn’t an option, you can still make and cook foil pack recipes if you have a grill accessible. We used a grill for this recipe.
