Instructions
- Gather and prep all ingredients. Preheat the grill to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, add shrimp, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and wine, and stir well.
- Cut five 12x18-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil***. Divide the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly between the 5 foil packs, placing in the middle of the foil with a pat of butter on top. Bringing the short sides of the foil together, fold the seams together twice, and then tuck the ends in and up to seal tightly.
- Place the packets on the grill and cook for 8 minutes.
- Remove packets from the grill and allow them to cool for 3-5 minutes. Then, serve with fresh lemon slices and enjoy!

Notes
*I use peeled and deveined large frozen shrimp (31-40 per lb), which I thaw myself. Both fresh and frozen shrimp will work in this recipe. It's up to you if you want your shrimp to be tail-on or off. I prefer tail-off shrimp in this recipe as they're much easier to eat out of the foil packs. Follow the package directions when thawing frozen shrimp. Never thaw shrimp at room temperature, in the microwave, or under hot water.
**Wine Substitute: Use equal parts chicken or veggie broth with 1 tsp lemon juice if preferred.
***You can use regular aluminum foil instead of heavy-duty—just double up each packet, so you'll need ten sheets in total.
