Tips and tricks for perfect bbq papillotes

Always use aluminum foil.
To prevent the papillotes from piercing or tearing, use two layers of aluminum foil.
To prevent your ingredients from sticking to the foil, add a bit of butter or oil. For fish, add a square of parchment paper between the fish and the two layers of aluminum foil.
Place your fish and aromatics on one half of the aluminum foil and fold the other half over. Close the papillote by folding the foil over itself.

Argentinian shrimp: succulent skewers!

With their pretty pink colour and slightly sweet flavours reminiscent of lobster, it’s no surprise that Argentinian shrimp are so popular! To enjoy them, simply marinate them for 30 minutes, slide them onto a skewer and grill on the BBQ a few minutes each side!

Three fresh ideas for outdoor dining:

Serve your grilled shrimp skewers at happy hour, with a side of spicy mayo, cilantro and lime yogurt, or guacamole.
Add them to a salad with grapefruit, avocado, and dill, or pineapple, orange, and kernel corn, like our delicious recipe for Californian shrimp salad.
In the mood for a cocktail dinner? Why not! Garnish your Bloody Caesar with red curry shrimp brochettes.
