Fiesta Shrimp Packets

I wanted to make these Fiesta Shrimp on Monday night in honor of Corey's horny toads for the Fiesta Bowl, but he informed me that would be dumb and that he wanted Domino's Pizza while he enjoyed the game. Undeterred, I made this Cooking Light recipe last night instead. This takes NO TIME to put together - just throw everything in some foil and either pop it on the grill (Cooking Light's preferred method) or pop it in the oven (my preferred method, since it is hard to get Corey to grill when the temps are in the 30's). With less than 10 g. fat, this one might be a good one for Colin, Shelley!

This recipe serves six. It is very easy to cut this recipe in half (which I do routinely to serve 3).
