Shrimp Foil Packets
Shrimp foil packets are made for summer dinners! They're cooked on the grill and packed with juicy coconut-lime marinated shrimp, sweet corn, and fresh zucchini.
Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- 8 aluminum foil sheets (cut large enough to wrap around the food)
Ingredients
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 cup fresh cilantro or parsley chopped
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 cups corn kernels (you can also use frozen corn kernels)
- 1 zucchini sliced into 1/4-inch rounds and halved
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon fajitas seasoning
- chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the shrimp. In a blender, combine onions, garlic, coconut, lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, and soy sauce; blend until smooth. Place marinade and shrimp in a resealable bag and toss to coat. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Fire up the grill. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
- Prepare the foil. For each foil pack, prepare two sheets of aluminum foil; place the sheets one on top of the other for durability and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Assemble. Divide the corn, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and marinated shrimp evenly between each foil packet, arranging the ingredients in the center of each foil sheet. Season with salt, pepper, and fajita seasoning.
- Fold and seal the packets. Fold the sides of the foil over the shrimp, covering completely; seal the packets closed.
- Cook. Transfer the foil packets to the grill, cover, and cook for 6 minutes. Turn over the packets and continue to grill for 7 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque.
- Serve! Carefully open the foil packets and stir the contents. Sprinkle with cilantro or parsley and enjoy.
Notes
- Oven Method: Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cook shrimp foils for about 15 minutes, or until zucchini is tender and shrimp is pink.
