Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
2 tsp mustard
10g
3/4 cup green beans
170g
3/4 lb asparagus
340g
1 cups spinach
30g
12 oz shrimps
340g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it has reached the right temperature before you start cooking.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Trim the ends of the green beans.
- Snap or cut off the woody ends of the asparagus.
3. Melt the Butter:
In a small saucepan or using a microwave, melt the 1/2 cup of butter until it is fully liquefied.
4. Combine Butter and Mustard:
To the melted butter, add the 2 tsp of mustard. Stir thoroughly to ensure the mustard is well incorporated into the butter.
5. Prepare the Foil Packets:
- Cut 4 large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12x12 inches each).
- Lay out the foil sheets on a clean surface.
6. Assemble the Parcels:
- Distribute the green beans evenly among the 4 foil sheets, followed by the asparagus spears.
- Place roughly 1/4 cup of spinach on top of the green beans and asparagus.
- Next, distribute the 12 oz of shrimp evenly on top of the vegetables across the 4 foil sheets.
- Drizzle the melted butter and mustard mixture evenly over the shrimp and vegetables in each parcel.
7. Seal the Foil Packets:
Fold the foil sheets by bringing the edges together and crimping them to form sealed envelopes. Ensure there are no gaps for the juices to leak out during cooking.
8. Bake:
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and put them in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
9. Serve:
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam) and transfer the contents to plates, or serve directly in the foil for a more casual presentation.
10. Enjoy:
Enjoy your easy garlic butter shrimp parcels with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
