Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 medium Zucchini (sliced into thin rounds)
- 1 Red bell pepper (cut into thin strips)
- 1 large Carrot (peeled and julienned)
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil or parchment paper (for packets)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the sesame ginger sauce.
Prepare 4 sheets of aluminum foil or parchment paper, each about 12x16 inches.
Divide the zucchini slices, red bell pepper strips, julienned carrot, and snow peas evenly among the 4 sheets, arranging them in the center.
Top the vegetables with the shrimp, divided evenly between the packets.
Drizzle the sesame ginger sauce equally over the shrimp and vegetables.
Sprinkle each packet with a pinch of toasted sesame seeds and some sliced green onions.
Fold the foil or parchment paper over the ingredients, crimping the edges tightly to seal the packets.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Carefully open the packets (caution: hot steam will escape) and serve immediately. Enjoy!
