Shrimp Packs are a Summertime Staple!
These simple shrimp foil packs are so incredibly delicious! They’re perfectly flavorful and the simple, fresh salsa just takes them over the top! It’s such a wonderful flavor combination here with the avocado-mango salsa and the cilantro-lime shrimp! And the couscous and spinach rounds it out – while the couscous makes it more hearty and filling and the spinach adds a veggie to the mix (to pair with all that fruit – yes it’s weird that avocados and tomatoes are consider fruit), so you’ve got a meal all in one simple foil packet dinner.
How Can I Make Them Spicy?
If you’d like to add some heat to this recipe you can definitely toss in 1 or 2 seeded diced jalapeño into the salsa but I figured the last shrimp packet recipe I shared was on the spicy side so I decided to keep this one mild. If we went according to my taste buds everything would be spicy :).
Can I Use Rice?
I recommend sticking with couscous for this recipe as it has such a short cook time. Rice takes 4 times as long to cook, and even instant rice takes more cooking than couscous. One thing that you might be able to substitute with is cauliflower rice, then you won’t need as much broth. Maybe just 1/4 cup so things don’t dry out.
Can I Bake them in the Oven?
These can also be baked in the oven. I’d go with 425 and it should take about 10 – 12 minutes. I love how quick these salmon packs cook. I mean 10 – 15 minutes for a full meal in one can you beat that? It works perfectly to preheat the grill while you prepare everything then by the time you’ve assembled them the grill should be up to heat and dinner can be ready in 30 minutes or less! Then soon enough you’ll be savoring each and ever bite! Winnah winnah shrimp fa dinnah!
