Okra retains a delightful tender-crisp texture when cooked in a packet. Here, it teams up with shrimp, tomatoes and Cajun seasoning for a satisfying meal with a taste of New Orleans. Serve with grilled whole-grain bread or polenta.

5 cups cherry tomatoes
1 large yellow onion, sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Step 2

Combine shrimp, okra, tomatoes, onion, oil, garlic and Cajun seasoning in a large bowl; stir to coat thoroughly. Evenly divide the mixture among the foil sheets (place on the side coated with cooking spray), arranging the shrimp atop the other ingredients. Gather together the long ends of each foil piece, then fold up its open sides to form a packet.
Step 3

Place the packets on the grill. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the shrimp is opaque, about 12 minutes.
