Summertime calls for outdoor adventures, and camping in an RV provides the perfect opportunity to reconnect with nature.
When it comes to cooking during your camping escapades, simplicity is key. In this blog post, we'll share a delightful recipe that's perfect for summer camping: Foil Packet Lemon Garlic Shrimp and Vegetables. This easy and delicious recipe allows you to enjoy a mouthwatering meal while surrounded by the beauty of nature.
Ingredients:
1-pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 medium zucchinis, sliced
2 medium yellow squash, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 2 lemons
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Prepare your campfire or charcoal grill, ensuring you have medium-high heat ready for cooking.
Cut four large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, approximately 12x18 inches each, and set them aside.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
In a separate large bowl, add the sliced zucchinis, yellow squash, red and yellow bell peppers, and red onion.
Drizzle the marinade over the vegetables and toss gently until they are coated evenly.
Divide the vegetable mixture equally onto the four aluminum foil sheets, placing them in the center of each sheet.
Place the shrimp on top of the vegetables, distributing them evenly.
Fold the sides of the foil over the shrimp and vegetables, creating tightly sealed packets.
Carefully place the foil packets on the campfire grill or charcoal grill, ensuring they are positioned over medium-high heat.
Cook the packets for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Turn the packets occasionally during cooking for even heat distribution.
Using oven mitts or tongs, carefully remove the packets from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes.
Open the packets with caution, as steam will escape.
Serve the delicious lemon garlic shrimp and vegetables directly from the foil packets and enjoy the flavorful meal in the midst of nature.
Serving Suggestions:
These foil packet lemon garlic shrimp and vegetables are a complete meal on their own. However, you can enhance the experience by serving them with a side of cooked quinoa, wild rice, or a simple green salad. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and vegetables for an extra zesty kick. Enjoy this camping recipe with your loved ones, savoring the flavors of summer under the starry night sky.
