Start by pouring a little bit of white wine into a bowl.

Add minced garlic to the bowl.

Add chopped rosemary to the bowl.

Sprinkle in a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Add a pinch of smoked Spanish paprika to the bowl.

Season with a pinch of salt.

Zest one whole lemon into the bowl.

Juice three lemons into the bowl, catching any seeds with your hand.

Add some honey to the mixture for balance and color.

Pour in a healthy amount of extra virgin olive oil.

Use a whisk to mix everything together.

Chop two zucchini in half lengthwise, then slice into half moons.

Cut one red bell pepper and one green bell pepper into thin slices.

Chop some onion and add it to the bowl with the veggies.

Mix the veggies in the bowl with the sauce.

Add peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl with the veggies and sauce.

Toss everything together in the bowl until well coated.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400 degrees.

Prepare six pieces of foil and place a piece of parchment on each.

Scoop a portion of the shrimp and veggie mixture onto the parchment, adding some of the sauce on top.

Fold the foil to create a pouch encasing the shrimp and veggies.

Place the foil packets on the preheated grill.

Cook the packets until the shrimp turns pink and the veggies are tender, which should take very little time.

Open the packets to reveal the cooked shrimp and veggies, garnishing with fresh parsley and lemon before serving.
