Fresh shrimp should be cooked briefly to avoid a rubbery texture. If you don't have skewers, add the raw shrimp to the foil packet along with all the remaining ingredients, then grill as directed.
Ingredients
  • 24 uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined, with tails left on
  • 1-1/2 cups instant white rice, uncooked
  • ½ cup fat-free Italian Dressing, divided
  • 1 zucchini, finely chopped
  • 1 red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1-1/2 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
  1. Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Toss the shrimp with ¼ cup Italian dressing. Let stand for about 10 minutes, then drain, discarding the dressing.
  3. Thread the shrimp evenly onto 4 skewers.
  4. Stack 3 (14-inch) squares of foil. Fold the foil in half, then double-fold 2 opposite sides to make a pouch.
  5. Spoon the peppers, zucchini and rice into the foil pouch. Gradually add the remaining dressing and chicken broth. Double-fold the foil at the top of the pouch to seal.
  6. Grill the packet for about 10-15 minutes (until the liquid is absorbed).
  7. Remove from the grill and let stand for about 5 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, grill the shrimp skewers for about 5 minutes (until the shrimp turns pink).
  9. Spoon the rice mixture onto a platter, top with the shrimp and green onions, and serve.
