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.
