Sprinkle the garlic (about 1 teaspoon per packet) and lemon zest over the shrimp and asparagus, then season generously with salt and pepper.
Divide the butter pieces evenly among the packets, layering them over the ingredients. Bring the foil edges together, crimping them tightly to seal, then fold up the ends. You want a tight seal, but leave a little extra space inside for the steam to circulate.
Place the sealed packets on the grill, seam-side upward. Grill until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through, which should take about 9–10 minutes.
Carefully unwrap the packets — watch out for the burst of steam as you open them. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice, or serve with lemon wedges on the side for spritzing, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
