Note

The cheese sauce should be thin enough to coat the shrimp but thick enough to stay in the packet. If it is too thick, add a splash more wine or water.

If you prefer not to use foil, you can use oven-safe ramekins instead. Place the mixture and shrimp in the ramekins and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

The remaining cheese sauce is delicious spooned over baked potatoes or steamed vegetables.

Ensure the foil packets are sealed tightly to prevent the sauce from leaking and to properly steam the shrimp.
