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
1/2 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
Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
Toss the shrimp with 1/4 cup Italian dressing. Let stand for about 10 minutes, then drain, discarding the dressing.
Thread the shrimp evenly onto 4 skewers.
Stack 3 (14-inch) squares of foil. Fold the foil in half, then double-fold 2 opposite sides to make a pouch.
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.
Grill the packet for about 10-15 minutes (until the liquid is absorbed).
Remove from the grill and let stand for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, grill the shrimp skewers for about 5 minutes (until the shrimp turns pink).
Spoon the rice mixture onto a platter, top with the shrimp and green onions, and serve.
