This Shrimp and Veggie Foil Packs recipe is a super quick, super flavorful, super healthy meal to add to your weekly rotation.
It feels like we are always looking for ways to incorporate more veggies into our daily meals. Everywhere we look, more and more research backs up the benefits of “eating the rainbow”. And as a busy mom of 2, I want recipes that are quick and delicious.
This Shrimp and Veggie Foil Packs recipe can be customized to use whatever vegetables you prefer or whatever you have on hand. Its a great way to empty out that veggie drawer when you need to eat up what you’ve got before it goes bad. The key is to cut your veggies into similar size shapes so that they will cook evenly. Toss your veggies with the shrimp, spices, herbs and olive oil and wrap in foil. These go great on the grill or straight onto the rack in your oven.
Keep it low carb by just eating the shrimp and veggies or serve over rice or cauliflower rice if you are paleo, grain free, or on Whole30. Enjoy!
