Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the sesame ginger sauce.

Step 3

Prepare 4 sheets of aluminum foil or parchment paper, each about 12x16 inches.

Step 4

Divide the zucchini slices, red bell pepper strips, julienned carrot, and snow peas evenly among the 4 sheets, arranging them in the center.

Step 5

Top the vegetables with the shrimp, divided evenly between the packets.

Step 6

Drizzle the sesame ginger sauce equally over the shrimp and vegetables.

Step 7

Sprinkle each packet with a pinch of toasted sesame seeds and some sliced green onions.

Step 8

Fold the foil or parchment paper over the ingredients, crimping the edges tightly to seal the packets.

Step 9

Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 10

Carefully open the packets (caution: hot steam will escape) and serve immediately. Enjoy!
