How to Make Sonoran Shrimp

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) or preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Prepare four sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 12x12 inches each).
  3. Divide 2 cups of corn kernels evenly among the four foil sheets.
  4. Top the corn on each sheet with 1/2 pound of shrimp (about 12-15 shrimp per packet).
  5. Distribute 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa evenly among the four packets.
  6. Drizzle each packet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
  7. Carefully bring up the sides of each foil sheet and double fold to create a tight seal.
  8. Double fold the ends of each packet, ensuring there's room for steam to circulate inside.
  9. Bake the packets on a cookie sheet in the preheated oven for 14-18 minutes, or grill them (covered) for 12-18 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  10. Carefully open each packet, allowing the steam to escape. Be cautious of hot steam!
  11. Serve immediately with chili lime rice (recipe below).
  12. **Chili Lime Rice:** While the shrimp packets are cooking, prepare 1 cup of rice according to package directions. Add 1 cup of water and 1 bouillon cube to the rice during cooking. Once cooked, stir in 1 tablespoon of chili powder.
