I recently cooked up this quick and yummy and healthy summertime meal for my family, and we all just loved it. And I bet you will love it too!
Cajun Shrimp Foil Packets
1 lb. cleaned large shrimp
3 oz fully-cooked turkey/ chicken andouille sausage, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp cajun or creole seasoning
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 1/2 cups of corn kernels
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine cajun seasoning, salt and pepper. Add shrimp and toss to coat.
- Place 4 large pieces (10 x 18) of heavy duty aluminum foil on a flat surface.
- Divide the sausage, zucchini, bell pepper, and corn among the foil pieces. Top each with shrimp (about 6 pieces each.) Sprinkle each packet with about 1 Tbsp each of parsley and basil.
- Drizzle each packet with about 1 Tbsp of wine, and 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil.
- Fold each piece of foil to form a packet, sealing tightly but leaving a little room for air to circulate. Packets may be refrigerated or frozen at this stage.
- Arrange packets on a baking sheet. Cook at 425 degrees until shrimp is cooked through and vegetables are crisp-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Open packets slowly and transfer to bowls or rimmed plates.
Notes:
The only change that I made to this recipe was the addition of onions, because we love onions and add them to almost every meal. :)
