Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch red-pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into strips
  • 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 ears corn, kernels removed
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Handful fresh basil, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat a gas grill to 400 °F (medium-high). Lay two sheets of heavy-duty foil in an X shape; repeat to form four packet bases.
  2. Whisk honey, garlic, rice vinegar, tamari, olive oil and red-pepper flakes in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spoon about 1/2 cup rice onto the center of each foil X. Top evenly with zucchini, corn and tomatoes, then the shrimp; season again lightly.
  4. Drizzle packets with the honey glaze, reserving about 1/4 cup for serving. Fold foil up and over to seal; poke a few small holes for steam vents.
  5. Grill packets 12–15 minutes until shrimp are pink and vegetables tender.
  6. Serve straight from the foil or transfer to bowls; drizzle with reserved glaze and sprinkle with fresh basil.

Notes

  • For oven prep, bake packets at 400 °F (200 °C) for 13–16 minutes. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  • Swap in other summer vegetables (bell peppers, green beans) if desired.
  • Use tamari to keep the dish gluten-free.
