No-mess. One Pouch Meals.

What in the heck are these you ask? It is summer time and that means grillin' time. I don't know about you but I just love using the grill. So, with that said I was reading through my Clean Eating Magazine and came across these. Perfect for Summertime Grillin'. Or choose to make them in the oven when it is not grillin' season.

How to make Foil Pouch:
1. Cut large rectangles of foil
2. Divide ingredients evenly into the center of foil pieces
3. Bring the short edges of the foil together
4. Fold inward a few times along each long edge to seal

Then what do you do? You choose your ingredients. You can add chicken, fish, shirmp, veggies, seasoning, anything you want. Once you come up with your receipe place it on the foil and take it to the grill. There is no mess and because moisture is contained, this causes the dish to become more saucier, more moist, and delish.

This is one of the receipes they have shown for the Foil Pouch and I am very excited to add it to the meal plan and try it out!

Spicy Shrimp & Bell Pepper Toss:

Ingredients:
*1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails removed, optional)
*1 red onion, thinly sliced
*2 cloves garlic, minced
*2 1/2 cups thinly sliced bell peppers (TIP:opt for a variety of colors for a more vibrant dish)
*2 tbsp fresh lime juice
*2 tsp chile powder
*1 tsp ground cumin
*1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
*1/4 tsp sea salt
*olive oil cooking spray
*1/4 chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions:
1. Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. In a large bowl, combine shrimp, onion, garlic and bell peppers. Add lime juice, chile, cumin, cayenne and salt and toss to coat. Cut 4 12x16-inch pieces of foil and mist with cooking spray. Divide shrimp mixture evenly into the center of foil pieces, forming a mound in the center. Bring the short edges of foil together. Fold inward a few times along each long edge to seal.
3. Place packets directly on grill or on a large, rimmed baking sheet in the oven. Grill or bake for about 15 minutes, until shrimp is just cooked through. (NOTE: Carefully open a single packet to check, then resel if needed.) Allow packets to rest 5 minutes before opening. Transfer contents of packets to serving plates and top with cilantro.
