Notes
Cooking times: This recipe assumes you are OK with rare to medium-rare steak. If you prefer medium or well done meat, let the foil packs cook for 5 minutes before opening each foil packet and adding the shrimp on top (otherwise the shrimp will have dried out by the time the steak's at your desired doneness).
Shrimp prep: You can use fresh raw shrimp or thawed shrimp, as you prefer. Choose large ones because little ones overcook too fast. Don't add the shrimp until they're completely thawed and drained on paper towels.
No grill or campfire? If you want to cook the foil packs in the oven, they will take about 15 minutes at 425 degrees F, making them an attractive quick dinner option.
