Ingredients
- •1 lb large shrimp
- •2 cups zucchini
- •2 cups yellow squash
- •2 cups red bell pepper
- •1 cup red onion
- •1 tsp garlic cloves
- •0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
- •0.5 tsp smoked paprika

- •0.25 cup white wine
- •2 Tbsp salted butter

Equipment

Instructions
- 1Gather and prep all ingredients. Preheat the grill to 400°F.
- 2In a large bowl, add shrimp, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and wine, and stir well.
- 3Cut five 12×18-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly between the 5 foil packs, placing in the middle of the foil with a pat of butter on top. Bringing the short sides of the foil together, fold the seams together twice, and then tuck the ends in and up to seal tightly.
- 4Place the packets on the grill and cook for 8 minutes.
- 5Remove packets from the grill and allow them to cool for 3-5 minutes. Then, serve with fresh lemon slices and enjoy!
Camp tips
- • Let the packets rest for a few minutes after grilling so the juices can redistribute.
- • Customize each pack to fit everyone’s taste with different veggies or spices like red pepper flakes.
- • Ensure packets are sealed tightly to lock in steam and flavor.
- • For oven cooking, preheat to 425°F and bake for about 15-20 minutes until shrimp is cooked through.
- • Avoid freezing leftovers as shrimp and veggies may become mushy.
