Ingredients

Servings

For The Shrimp Foil Packets:

  • 2 pounds Shrimp medium, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
  • 2 ears corn husked, cut into 6x 1-inch pieces per cob, on the cob
  • 1 red bell pepper deseeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper deseeded and thinly sliced, orange
  • 1 green bell pepper deseeded and thinly sliced
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped, fresh, leaves
  • ½ teaspoon cumin ground

For The Elotes Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • cup cotija cheese or feta cheese, finely crumbled, or fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped to garnish, leaves
  • 1 lime cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat a gas (or charcoal grill), or a grill pan over high heat.
  2. Cut four sheets of foil, about 10-12-inches long. Combine the shrimp, corn, bell peppers and onions in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic, taco seasoning, brown sugar, lime juice, cilantro and cumin; gently toss to combine.
  3. Divide shrimp mixture among the four pieces of foil, arranging the ingredients on the centre of each piece. Fold up all 4 sides of each foil packet, covering completely and sealing the packets closed.
  4. Place foil packets on the grill and cook until just cooked through, about 6-8 minutes on one side. Flip, and continue to grill on the other side for a further 6 minutes, or until the corn is tender and shrimp are fully cooked. (If using the oven, bake in a preheated oven -- 400°F | 200°C  -- on a baking sheet for 25-30 minutes, or until done).
  5. While the packs are cooking, mix together the mayo, sour cream and garlic until thoroughly mixed through. 
  6. Once cooked, drizzle the corn with the crema; top with the cheese and chili powder; garnish packs with the cilantro (or parsley) and serve packets immediately with lime wedges, tortillas, rice, or other sides.
