Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced

1 cup zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 lemon, juiced

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Optional: Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Foil: Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12x12 inches each. Create small pockets by folding up the edges slightly at the corners.

    Mix the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, Italian herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.

      Toss the Shrimp and Veggies: Add the shrimp, sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Gently toss everything in the marinade until well coated.

        Assemble the Packets: Spoon an equal amount of the shrimp and veggie mixture onto the center of each foil square. Fold the foil over the shrimp mixture and crimp the edges to seal tightly, creating packets.

          Grill the Packets: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the foil packets directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender.

            Serve: Carefully open the packets (watch for steam!) and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve directly from the foil or over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa for a complete meal.

              Enjoy! This dish is not only delicious but also colorful and packed with nutrients. Perfect for a summer get-together or a quick weeknight dinner!
