Ingredients

1 ¼ pounds medium shrimp peeled and deveined
1 red bell pepper seeded and thinly sliced
1 garlic clove peeled and crushed
2 tablespoon avocado oil
2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoon fresh lime zest
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
1 avocado peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
1 lime quartered

Instructions

In a large bowl, add shrimp, bell pepper, garlic, oil, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat. Cover bowl and let shrimp marinate in the refrigerator 15 minutes.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Cut four (12" × 18") rectangles out of heavy-duty foil.
Divide shrimp mixture (with juices) evenly among foil rectangles. Fold foil over shrimp to seal each packet.
Grill foil packets 5–6 minutes on each side. The shrimp will be opaque when it’s done.
Let packets rest 5 minutes before carefully opening them. Serve each portion topped with 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves and ¼ avocado slices along with 1 lime wedge to squeeze on top.
