Make Light and Fresh Pineapple Teriyaki Shrimp Foil Packets

The flavor of Pineapple Teriyaki Shrimp Foil Packets is crisp and light. This is the ideal summer meal—tender shrimp, crisp vegetables, and rice—all prepared in a matter of minutes with essentially no cleanup required.

My kind of dinner is simple to prepare and much simpler to clean up when the temperature rises!

Summer is my favorite time to cook using foil packets, and I’m kind of addicted to the Parmesan Chicken variety.

Foil not only makes cleanup a breeze, but it also allows you to prepare your dinner ahead of time, and for some reason, everything tastes better in packages.

My preferred time of day to cook my meals is in the morning because as the day goes on, the heat builds and I simply can’t walk when it’s that hot! (Pineapple Teriyaki Shrimp Foil Packets)

The healthful, fresh ingredients used in these Teriyaki Shrimp Foil Packets make them flavorful at any time.

Although this recipe asks for peppers and snaps peas, you may also use baby corn and mushrooms (and fresh bean sprouts when serving for a cool crisp crunch).

I used pineapple to add sweetness, but mango chunks would also be excellent in this dish because it is so adaptable.

Try your favorite fruit and vegetable combo without hesitation! If you cook at all, as I do, you probably frequently wonder what to do with leftover rice in the fridge.

The My Favorite Fried Rice dish or the Broccoli Rice Casserole from Scratch are just two of the numerous delicious options available.

Teriyaki Shrimp Foil Packets are no exception; you can enjoy this recipe with leftover rice. These shrimp foil packets only need to cook for a few minutes, so the rice is always perfectly heated without becoming mushy.

You may always make this recipe without the rice in the packets and instead cook some fresh rice to offer on the side if you’d prefer.

Instead of rice, another delicious option is to serve this with noodles. Try substituting cauliflower rice for the traditional rice or noodles in this recipe to add a serving of vegetables.

Advice for Making the Pineapple Teriyaki Shrimp Foil Packets

• Your foil should be at least 12″ by 18″. You will have enough foil left over to fully seal the packet with this.
• Because the sweet sauce can adhere to the foil, spray the foil thoroughly with nonstick spray (or use nonstick foil).
• Cooking should begin with the shrimp side down.
• I’ve discovered that packed pre-cooked rice from this site produces the greatest results when cooking rice that is already packaged. If you’re using handmade rice, make sure it’s cold and about a minute undercooked so it doesn’t go mushy. Alternatively, you may prepare the rice and serve it separately.
• For the greatest results, select a richer teriyaki sauce (or teriyaki baste).
• For more flavor, mix in some fresh ginger and/or garlic with the vegetables.

Make sure to get a thick teriyaki sauce while making your selection. Many sauces are practically as thin as soy sauce, which will not produce the results you need! Don’t forget to give the foil packets a few minutes to rest once you take them off the grill.

When you cut into them, they won’t only be a little bit cooler since the rice has had time to soak up some of the scrumptious liquids!

As a garnish, I sprinkled sesame seeds and green onions on top of each opened packet. Fresh bean sprouts or crunchy wonton strips can be added to your packets right away after they’ve been opened.

This will give the already deliciously soft crisp vegetables and succulent prawns a delightful crunch!

You won’t be sorry if you included Teriyaki Shrimp Foil Packets in your summer menu! Even my upcoming camping trip will include these! What a delightful difference between hot dogs and hamburgers—although I still enjoy those, too—I’ll have to make a place in my cooler to accommodate it all.

Notes

Make sure you get a rich teriyaki sauce. The best results in this recipe come from rice that is ready to be served.

If you’re using handmade rice, make sure it’s cold before adding it to the packets, or cook just the vegetables and shrimp as indicated and serve the rice separately.
