SHRIMP FOIL PACKS IN OVEN
I used summer squash, zucchini squash, bell pepper, sweet onion, and green onions. You can add whatever vegetables you like. However, make sure to use vegetables that cook quickly. More quick-cooking vegetable options are asparagus, snow peas, baby boy Choy, broccoli, and cauliflower to name a few.
Furthermore, instead of shrimp, you can substitute with any type of fish like salmon, tilapia, halibut, or scallops.
CAN I MAKE SHRIMP FOIL PACKETS ON THE GRILL?
Absolutely! You can cook these on the grill or a campfire. They’re great for camping! I included instructions to cook these foil packs in the oven and on the grill below for your convenience.
