Steps:
- Preheat grill to med-high or oven to 450 degrees.
- Use either foil cooking bags, or pieces of aluminum foil to make a cooking pouch.
- Add shrimp and vegetables, top with garlic, ginger and oil.
- To grill: Place foil pouch on grill rack, cook for 15-20 minutes, or until shrimp is no longer pink.
- To bake in oven: Place pouch in cake pan or cookie sheet with sides.
- Bake 25-30 minutes, or until shrimp is no longer pink.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. Mise en place (French for "put in place") is a cooking technique that helps you stay organized and efficient in the kitchen.
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final dish. Look for fresh, seasonal vegetables and seafood that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Don't overcrowd the packets: Make sure there is enough space for the shrimp and vegetables to cook evenly. If the packets are too crowded, the food will steam instead of roast.
- Season the packets well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices to flavor the shrimp and vegetables. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the packets over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the shrimp and vegetables. If you cook the packets over low heat, the food will be more likely to steam and become mushy.
- Let the packets rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute and the flavors to meld together. Let the packets rest for at least 5 minutes before opening them.
Conclusion:
Shrimp and veggie packets are a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp and veggie packets a try.
