Didn't have creole seasoning - but made my own. I would make multiple packets next time so everyone could create their own flavors and veggies. I used pre-cooked, tail off shrimp. Cooked for 10 min and it created a sauce - i expected it to "char" a little but the foil packet created steam and moisture.
Grilled Fiesta Shrimp
"The packet is easy to assemble for a casual get-together and perfect for a small party. And cleanup is a breeze. Sometimes my husband and I like to add a dash of ground red pepper to the shrimp to turn up the heat." —Marchelle Falkner, Birmingham, Ala.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup of the shrimp mixture and about 2/3 cup rice)
