There are choices when it comes to quick and easy meals, but have you thought about making your own?

Going Global with Gorton’s

Shrimp Scampi is Gorton’s take on an Italian classic, and it comes in a “Bake Perfect Oven Bag,” which makes it incredibly easy to prepare at home. Simply pop it in the oven, and the shrimp cooks to perfection, while the bag locks in flavor for a perfectly cooked meal every time.

What you need for a foil pack dinner

My family loves it when I make foil pack dinners. Not only are they great for camping, but have you ever made a dozen up and kept them in the fridge? For lunch or dinner, for a busy family, they’re delicious for popping in the oven for a quick, easy meal. I don’t know about you, but our family wants to be eating seafood year round as part of a balanced diet.

Here’s what you need to make these foil pack meals: Parchment paper, foil, and simple ingredients.

Which is where Gorton’s Seafood comes in. Gorton’s is “trusted by those who know seafood,” because they have fed families around the world for generations. Gorton’s has actually been around for 167 years, in recent decades with the finest frozen seafood. I love to add their fish to classic dishes, like my Salmon Spaghetti Carbonara, and keep it in the freezer for weeknight meals or last-minute guests. I love how my friend, Lori, used the same salmon and made delicious Salmon Wellington!

Shrimp Scampi Foil Pack Dinner

To make a foil pack dinner, start with a protein, like chicken or fish. Want to make it easy? Open a pack of Gorton’s Simply Shrimp Scampi (in garlic and butter). Next, add the protein to your favorite veggies. Wrap and refrigerate!

How to cook a foil pack dinner

When you need a quick and easy weeknight dinner, pull from the fridge a foil pack dinner.

Simply layer ingredients ahead of time, using Gorton’s Simply Shrimp Scampi on sheets of foil (and parchment), and wrap into neat little packages.

For secret flavor? Top with 1 slice of lime and fresh dill (or your favorite herb).

Cook them on the grill or in the oven.

Serve together with your favorite vegetables all cooked at the same time, with an option of quinoa or rice (or for low-carb, just eat the pack!)
