Whether you're grilling in the backyard or on a camping trip in the mountains, these three foil packets recipes are sure to be a hit. For each recipe, you'll place ingredients in a sheet of tin foil, fold the sheet in half, then fold the edges inward towards the shrimp or veggies, pushing down to seal the edge as you go.
