Ingredients
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ red bell pepper, cut into chunks
½ green bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 small zucchini, cut into chunks
1 small yellow squash, cut into chunks
1.5 cups fresh corn kernels
½ small red onion, cut into chunks
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1.5 tsp dried thyme
1.5 tsp dried oregano
1.5 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the Grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for around 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Ingredients: Chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces and remove the corn kernels from the cob.
Season the Shrimp and Veggies: In a large bowl, combine shrimp, vegetables, chopped garlic, olive oil, thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Assemble the Foil Packets: Cut four sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12 by 15 inches). Divide the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly among the foil sheets, placing it in the center of each.
Seal the Packets: Fold the long sides of the foil over the mixture and roll tightly to seal. Fold up the short ends to secure the packet.
Grill the Packets: Place the foil packets on the preheated grill. Cook for 12–14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Serve: Carefully open the packets, being cautious of hot steam. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Swap vegetables or add extras like mushrooms or green beans to suit your taste.
Try using basil or dill for a different herbal twist.
