Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 tablespoon chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the vegetables
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for the vegetables
2 cups quartered grape tomatoes
2 cups diced zucchini
1 cup small-diced baby potatoes
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan over medium heat until hot.
  • Divide the shrimp evenly among 4 pieces of foil large enough to fold over and seal. Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and season with the chipotle powder, salt and pepper. You can always add less chipotle powder depending on how spicy you want the shrimp. Top with the tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes and onion; season the vegetables with salt and pepper. Wrap up the shrimp and vegetables tightly in the foil packets.
  • Grill the packets until the shrimp are cooked through and the vegetables are slightly tender, about 15 minutes. Serve in the foil packets and garnish with cilantro leaves.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large bell peppers, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 large onion, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 bunch scallions, quartered crosswise
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
1 1/4 pounds extra-large peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed
2 limes, halved
Twelve 6-inch flour tortillas
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
Salsa and chopped avocado for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
  • Toss together the bell pepper, onion, scallions, oil, chile powder, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a very large bowl.
  • Tear two 18-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil. Spread the vegetable mixture on one piece of foil, leaving a few inches of exposed foil as a border. Arrange the shrimp on top of the vegetables in a single layer. Squeeze the limes over the mixture. Top with the remaining piece of foil, lining up the edges. Fold the edges and crimp tightly to make a leak-proof packet.
  • Tear two 18-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil. Arrange the tortillas, overlapping slightly, on one piece of foil. Top with the remaining piece of foil, lining up the edges. Fold the edges and crimp tightly to make another packet.
  • Put the shrimp packet on the grill, close the grill lid and cook 12 minutes (do not turn the packet over). The packet should puff up and look like a pillow. Slide from the grill onto a baking sheet using tongs. Set aside and let rest while you heat up the tortillas. Put the tortilla pack on the grill and cook until warm, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Carefully open the shrimp packet (hot steam will escape). The shrimp should be pink and cooked through and the onions and peppers just tender. Scatter the cilantro over the shrimp. Serve with the warm tortillas and salsa and avocado, if desired.
