pesto shrimp packets

pesto shrimp packets
  • 2 cups frozen precooked rice (such as InnovAsian®)
  • 24 pitted green olives, roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 3 tablespoons pesto, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 thin slices tomato
  • 2 tablespoons chopped toasted almonds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut four 12x15-inch sheets of parchment paper. Fold each in half widthwise and reopen.
  2. Mix rice, green olives, chicken broth, orange juice, pesto, orange zest, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
  3. Spoon 3/4 cup of the rice mixture onto 1 side of each parchment rectangle, near the crease. Pile shrimp evenly over rice mixture. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over each pile of shrimp; lay 1 tomato slice on top.
  4. Fold empty half of parchment over shrimp filling and crimp edges together with overlapping folds to seal. Arrange packets close together on a sheet pan.
  5. Roast on the center rack of the preheated oven until shrimp are tender and opaque, 15 to 17 minutes. Unfold 1 edge of the parchment, being careful to avoid steam, and look inside to check doneness.
  6. Open packets carefully, being careful to avoid steam. Slide shrimp and rice mixture into bowls. Garnish with almonds and parsley.
