- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Place 4 large squares or rectangles of heavy duty aluminum foil on counter. They should be large enough to fit the shrimp and vegetables when folded over and sealed.
- Remove the shrimp and vegetables from the refrigerator and divide them equally among the rectangles of foil. Seal by double folding over the top then double folding in the edges.
- Place packets directly on grill, close lid and cook 5-7 minutes per side, depending on size of shrimp. They can also be cooked at a campsite by placing packets directly in fire and cooking for about 6 minutes.
