With virtually no cleanup, cooking a meal in foil over the fire is simple. Buy premade foil oven bags, or fashion your own from heavy-duty aluminum foil. Then toss the bag directly on the coals. If you skip the couscous, soak up the juices with French bread.

These foil packets are sooo easy and taste good. You can customize them as you like, BUT I've read that foil gets into the food and the aluminum is not good for you! I'm disappointed because these are great, but not at the expense of my health!

I thought the shrimp and the corn were pretty good, but I felt both needed more than ten minutes to fully cook. I added some red pepper flakes to give it a little kick.

Loved this! We didn't add the sugar to the sauce--the honey was quite enough--and we used cumin instead of coriander. We also took the tails off the shrimp before cooking to make it easier to eat. Otherwise, it was excellent and made a perfect meal for our girls' night splurge. :) I imagine that quinoa would work quite well in place of the couscous.

It was edible, but won't make again. Also the oven cooking time was way off

A delicious, ingenious combination of fresh summer foods. The shrimp has to be Gulf shrimp, not imported farm raised!
