A camping classic with a healthy update. Assemble these packets at home, transport in a cooler, place in the fire to cook, and then open them up for an all-in-one hearty meal. Be sure to use heavy-duty rather than regular foil, fold carefully to seal (don’t simply crunch it closed), and cook in hot embers, not flaming coals. You can also cook this on a home grill with the lid down.

Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free teriyaki sauce
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 onion, cut into eight wedges
- 2 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 1/2 pound sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- Crushed red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Place four 16x16-inch pieces heavy-duty foil on a work surface. In a bowl, combine shrimp, ginger, sauce, and garlic; season with salt and pepper.
- Divide broccoli, onion, carrots, and mushrooms among foil pieces; drizzle each with 1 tablespoon sesame oil, a generous sprinkle of salt, and desired amount of red pepper flakes. Divide shrimp mixture among foil pieces, placing over vegetables.
- Bring two opposite edges together and fold over twice to create a tight seal. Pull up open edges and fold to seal, pressing foil almost flat against food (leave a little room for steam). Wrap packets in a second sheet of foil. Chill until ready to cook.
- Place packets in hot (not flaming) coals. Cook 8–12 minutes, rotating twice. Carefully remove packets from coals and place on plates. Let cool 5 minutes. Avoid escaping steam when opening.
