Instructions

Grilling And Campfire

  • Light up the campfire or preheat the oven to fan assisted 200C / 220C / 425 F / gas 7.
  • Add the shrimp, courgette (zucchini), peppers and cherry tomatoes into a bowl.
  • Mix together the marinade ingredients and add to the shrimp mix and mix until combined.
  • Split the shrimp mix across 4 sheets of aluminum foil and split the butter (if using) across the packet.
  • Fold edges of foil up around the food to form a closed foiled packet.
  • If grilling on a campfire or grill, then cook the shrimps foil packets for about 10 mins on one side, then turn over and cook for 5-6 mins on the other side or until the shrimps are pink and cooked through.

Oven

  • Preheat the oven to fan assisted 200C / 220C / 425 F / gas 7.
  • Place prepared foil packets on a rimmed baking tray.
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes until the shrimps are pink and cooked through.

Make In The Air Fryer

  • Preheat Air Fryer to 400F / 200C.
  • Mix together the shrimp, zucchini(courgette), peppers, and grape tomatoes.
  • Mix the marinade ingredients and coat the shrimp veggie mix.
  • Split the shrimp mix across 4 sheets of aluminum foil packs.Fold edges of foil up around the food into a closed foiled packet.
  • Cook in batches in the Air Fryer basket for 15 minutes or until shrimp is cooked through (or you may be able to fit it all in an air fryer oven).

In The Instant Pot

  • Mix together the shrimp, zucchini (courgette), peppers, and grape tomatoes.
  • Mix the marinade ingredients and coat the shrimp veggie mix.
  • Split the shrimp mix across 4 sheets of aluminium foil packs. Fold edges of foil up around the food into a closed foiled packet.
  • Put the Instant Pot Air Fryer Basket into the Instant pot and add in the foil packs one at a time.
  • Lock the Air Fryer Lid, Select air fryer function, set to 400F / 200C for 18 minutes, and press start. 
  • Cook until about 15 minutes and check. If not done, then cook for a further few minutes.

Notes

  • Make sure your foil pack ingredients are in a thin layer inside the packet so they cook quicker.
  • There will be a bit of liquid in the foil packet after cooking, so open them carefully.
  • Cut zucchini into thin half-moons or they won't cook through in 15 minutes. If you prefer bigger cut veggies, then cook the veggies for 5 minutes before adding the shrimp and cooking as directed.
  • It is best to use heavy-duty foil for this so the foil does not tear when grilling.
If you omit the optional 1.5 tsp butter, there are 2 Blue Plan Smartpoints per serving.
