Lemon Garlic Shrimp Foil Packs Quick and Flavorful Meal
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- to garnish fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
- Add the shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini to the marinade. Toss until the shrimp and vegetables are well coated.
- Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long.
- Place an equal amount of the shrimp and vegetable mixture onto the center of each foil sheet, making sure to reserve any marinade left in the bowl.
- Fold up the sides of the foil and then crimp the top to seal each pack tightly, making sure no steam can escape.
- Place the foil packs on the grill or in the oven. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender.
- Carefully open the foil packs (watch out for steam!) and drizzle any leftover marinade over the contents if desired.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
