01

Step

5 mins

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)

02

Step

0 mins

Place 5 to 6 shrimp in the center of a square of foil. Add a few pieces of mango, pineapple, onion, and tomato. Drizzle with olive oil and Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle with lemon-pepper, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Fold the sides up around the shrimp mix to make a packet. Flip upside-down onto another sheet of aluminum foil. (10 minutes)

03

Step

25 mins

Place the folded side of the foil packets down first on the preheated grill. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes; flip so the folded side is up. Continue to cook until shrimp are pink and onions are tender, 10 to 15 minutes more. (20-30 minutes)

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the foil packets.
Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers or zucchini.
Ensure the foil packets are tightly sealed to steam the ingredients effectively.
Serve with coconut rice and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an extra touch of tropical flair.
