For the foil packs:
-
Using 4 large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil (at least 12 inches long), lay each out on the counter, then add a fourth of the vegetables (zucchini, squash, and corn) to the center of each sheet. Then add a fourth of the marinated shrimp on top of the vegetables. Bring up sides of foiling and roll over a few times, then press the sides together and roll so the packet is sealed (You want to make sure there is room left in the packet for air to flow around the food).
