Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
1 cup bell peppers, sliced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Foil: Cut four pieces of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long each.
Mix the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine shrimp, barbecue sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated.
Assemble the Packets: Place equal portions of the shrimp mixture, corn, and bell peppers on each piece of foil. Fold the edges of the foil over the shrimp to create a sealed packet.

Grill the Packets: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Serve: Carefully open the foil packets to avoid steam. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot directly from the foil or on a plate.
