Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Vegetables
- 12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Other
- 4 large sheets of aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking and a nice char on the ingredients.
- Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, thinly sliced zucchini, corn kernels, chopped red onion, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.
- Assemble the foil packets: Divide the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly among the four large sheets of aluminum foil.
- Seal the packets: Fold the foil over the mixture and seal tightly, leaving a small opening at the top to allow steam to escape during grilling.
- Grill the packets: Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked and opaque and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Carefully open the foil packets to avoid steam burns and serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh corn kernels with frozen if fresh is not available.
- For an extra kick, add some red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Use a grill basket if you prefer not to use foil packets, but cooking time may vary slightly.
- Ensure shrimp are fully cooked and opaque before serving for food safety.
