Packet Dinner

Packet dinners are one of my favorite quick mid-week meals. Super easy to make: chop, fold, plop on the grill and walk away for 15 minutes but even better is the super easy clean-up after dinner: no pots or pans. Because although I love to cook sometimes I just don't wanna ;)

Last night's quickie dinner...


Shelly's Shrimp & Squash Packet

1 Tablespoon Pesto Sauce (Trader Joes, Contadina, Buitoni. Fresh pasta section)
1 Tablespoon Lemon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon White Wine
7 Raw Shrimp, peeled & deveined and tails removed
1 cup Summer Squash or Zucchini, sliced
2 Green Onions, diced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon of Kosher Salt
a few twists of Black Pepper

Peel and devein shrimp. Mix pesto, wine & oil together and let shrimp marinate in the mixture while you slice the squash & onions. Don't leave the wine out it's a flavor thing. It's 1 Tablespoon and the alcohol cooks out. No one will catch a buzz off the shrimp I promise. Ingredients listed are for one packet multiply it for how many packets you are making. Place all ingredients in center of a piece of heavy duty foil (if you are using the $1 store stuff double it)


Fold the foil over and seal each packet. BBQ 15 minutes in covered grill. Open packets carefully (steam burns are not fun) and mix with a fork lightly before serving.
