Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°.

  • In a large bowl, place the shrimp, sausage, zucchini, red bell pepper, corn, Creole seasoning, salt, parsley, and basil. Use a large spoon to mix thoroughly.

  • Lay out large 4 large (10 x 18-inch) pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface.

  • Divide the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly between the 4 pieces, placing in the center of each piece of foil.

  • Combine the white wine and olive oil and drizzle each packet with 2 1/2 Tbsp.

  • Fold each piece of the foil to form a packet, sealing tightly and leaving a little room inside for air to circulate.

  • Place packets on a baking sheet; bake for 12-14 minutes or until the shrimp is cooked through and the vegetables are crisp.

  • When opening packets, be careful to avoid steam. Transfer shrimp and veggies to individual bowls.
