Grilled Pork Chops & with Veggie Shrimp Packets

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 4 Blue Ribbon boneless pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Instant Gourmet® Original seasoning, to taste

For the Shrimp Veggie Packets

• 2 square pieces of aluminum foil
• 2 cups frozen Oriental vegetables
• 14 Blue Ribbon P&D shrimp
• 4 tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce

1. Make the veggie-shrimp packets by putting equal amounts of the frozen vegetables, shrimp, and BBQ sauce in the center of each foil sheet.  Fold up the foil sheets to make a packet, sealing the sides so none of the juices escape during cooking.  For best results, make the veggie-shrimp packets one hour before grilling.  These can also be made the night before and placed in the fridge.
2. Heat your grill on high for 10 minutes.  In the meantime, rub the boneless pork chops with the oil and season to taste with the Instant Gourmet® seasoning. 
3. Place the veggie-shrimp packets on a cooler part of the grill and let them steam for 10 minutes.
4. Add the seasoned pork chops to the hottest part of the grill and cook for two minutes per side to make the grill marks.  Move the pork chops to a cooler part of the grill and continue to cook until just done (turning every 2-3 minutes).

Serving Suggestions:  Carefully open the veggie-shrimp packets and place contents in the center of the each plate. Place the grilled chops on top of the vegetables and shrimp.

Enjoy!
