Sesame Ginger Shrimp and Vegetable Packets

Submitted by erinBOberrin

"Here's a recipe I modified from one of those Reynolds foil ads. It's quick and healthy. Whatever you do (unless you know you don't like it!), don't leave out the fresh ginger. To me, it makes the recipe! Add brown or white rice, soy sauce for a condiment, and you have a meal!"

Excellent flavor! Super easy to make and clean up is a breeze. I served it over cauliflower rice and my husband raved. We'll be having this again!

Super easy and no clean up! We halved this - next time I might add a splash of soy sauce and also make sure the ingredients are mixed so the garlic and ginger are evenly distributed. DH is diabetic and he said: "It's great to have a meal that fills up the whole plate!" We had this with a side of brown rice.

Great! I halved it, but kept the ginger and sesame oil the full size. I also mixed them and the garlic before pouring them on to get a slight infusion... I recommend putting just a few drops of water in the bottom amid the veggies so that the steam and then take the top off in the end or cut it open to brown the shrimp... that is my preference- like scampi! Enjoy <3

I don't add the shrimp, but I love using this recipe for almost every asian meal for my side dish. I just use whatever vegtables are in my fridge and it works perfect everytime. I also started using a ginger-sesame salad dressing to add even more flavor, but that is for the ginger lover's only (strooooong).
