Ingredients

4 servings

2 pounds shrimp (medium, peeled and deveined, tails on or off)
2 ears corn on the cob (husked, cut into 6x 1-inch pieces per cob)
1 red bell pepper (deseeded and thinly sliced)
1 orange bell pepper (deseeded and thinly sliced)
1 g reen bell pepper (deseeded and thinly sliced)
1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves (chopped, fresh )
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 clove garlic (finely minced)
1/3 cup Cotija (or feta cheese, finely crumbled, or fresh grated parmesan cheese)
1/4 teaspoon chili powder ( plus more for serving )
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves (finely chopped to garnish)
1 lime (cut into wedges)

Steps

Preheat a gas (or charcoal grill), or a grill pan over high heat.
Cut four sheets of foil, about 10-12-inches long. Combine the shrimp, corn, bell peppers and onions in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic, taco seasoning, brown sugar, lime juice, cilantro and cumin; gently toss to combine.
Divide shrimp mixture among the four pieces of foil, arranging the ingredients on the centre of each piece. Fold up all 4 sides of each foil packet, covering completely and sealing the packets closed.
Place foil packets on the grill and cook until just cooked through, about 6-8 minutes on one side. Flip, and continue to grill on the other side for a further 6 minutes, or until the corn is tender and shrimp are fully cooked. (If using the oven, bake in a preheated oven -- 400°F | 200°C  -- on a baking sheet for 25-30 minutes, or until done).
While the packs are cooking, mix together the mayo, sour cream and garlic until thoroughly mixed through. 
Once cooked, drizzle the corn with the crema; top with the cheese and chili powder; garnish packs with the cilantro (or parsley) and serve packets immediately with lime wedges, tortillas, rice, or other sides.
