Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.

  2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped jalapeño, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, lime juice, and olive oil. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.

  3. Place the shrimp in a large Ziploc bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are well coated. Allow the shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  4. Tear off four 12x18-inch pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Divide the sliced bell peppers and onions evenly among the foil pieces, creating a bed for the shrimp. Place an equal portion of marinated shrimp on top of the vegetables in each foil packet.

  5. Seal the foil packets securely and grill for 10-12 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  6. Garnish each packet with fresh cilantro leaves before serving. Enjoy the Sonoran Shrimp Packets directly in the foil.
